Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 217/241,227/593
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 217,227
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 217,227 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 241,593 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 241,593 is 142913 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 217,227
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 217
List of positive integer factors of 217 that divides 217 without a remainder.
1,7,31,217
Factors of 227
List of positive integer factors of 227 that divides 227 without a remainder.
1,227
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 217,227 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 217,227 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142913
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/142913
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 217/241,227/593 is 1/142913
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 241,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,593) = ( 241 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(241,593) = 142913 / 1
LCM(241,593) = 142913
