Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 224/401,487/961
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 224,487
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 224,487 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 401,961 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 401,961 is 385361 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 224,487
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 224
List of positive integer factors of 224 that divides 224 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,112,224
Factors of 487
List of positive integer factors of 487 that divides 487 without a remainder.
1,487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 385361
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/385361
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/401,487/961 is 1/385361
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 401,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,961) = ( 401 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(401,961) = 385361 / 1
LCM(401,961) = 385361
