Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 231/93,466/4587
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 231,466
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 231,466 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 93,4587 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 93,4587 is 142197 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 231,466
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
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 466
List of positive integer factors of 466 that divides 466 without a remainder.
1,2,233,466
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,466 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,466 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 93,4587
3 | 93, 4587 |
31, 1529 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 31 x 1529 = 142197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/142197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/93,466/4587 is 1/142197
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 93,4587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,4587) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(93,4587) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(93,4587) = ( 93 × 4587 ) / 3
LCM(93,4587) = 426591 / 3
LCM(93,4587) = 142197
