Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 231/43,717/1969
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 231,717
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 231,717 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,1969 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,1969 is 84667 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 231,717
3 | 231, 717 |
77, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 231
List of positive integer factors of 231 that divides 231 without a remainder.
1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Factors of 717
List of positive integer factors of 717 that divides 717 without a remainder.
1,3,239,717
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,717 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,717 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,1969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84667
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/84667
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/43,717/1969 is 3/84667
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 43,1969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,1969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,1969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,1969) = ( 43 × 1969 ) / 1
LCM(43,1969) = 84667 / 1
LCM(43,1969) = 84667
