Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 233/412,221/962
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 233,221
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 233,221 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 412,962 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 412,962 is 198172 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 233,221
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 233
List of positive integer factors of 233 that divides 233 without a remainder.
1,233
Factors of 221
List of positive integer factors of 221 that divides 221 without a remainder.
1,13,17,221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 233,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 233,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 412,962
2 | 412, 962 |
206, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 206 x 481 = 198172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 233/412,221/962 is 1/198172
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 412,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(412,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(412,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(412,962) = ( 412 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(412,962) = 396344 / 2
LCM(412,962) = 198172
