Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 235/371,1587/7302
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 235,1587
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 235,1587 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 371,7302 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 371,7302 is 2709042 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 235,1587
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Factors of 1587
List of positive integer factors of 1587 that divides 1587 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69,529,1587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,1587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,1587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 371,7302
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2709042
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2709042
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/371,1587/7302 is 1/2709042
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 371,7302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,7302) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,7302) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,7302) = ( 371 × 7302 ) / 1
LCM(371,7302) = 2709042 / 1
LCM(371,7302) = 2709042
