Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 243/96,502/458
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 243,502
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 243,502 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,458 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,458 is 21984 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 243,502
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 243
List of positive integer factors of 243 that divides 243 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81,243
Factors of 502
List of positive integer factors of 502 that divides 502 without a remainder.
1,2,251,502
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 243,502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 243,502 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,458
2 | 96, 458 |
48, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 48 x 229 = 21984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 243/96,502/458 is 1/21984
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 96,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(96,458) = ( 96 × 458 ) / 2
LCM(96,458) = 43968 / 2
LCM(96,458) = 21984
