Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 247/817,5161/321
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 247,5161
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 247,5161 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 817,321 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 817,321 is 262257 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 247,5161
13 | 247, 5161 |
19, 397 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Factors of 247
List of positive integer factors of 247 that divides 247 without a remainder.
1,13,19,247
Factors of 5161
List of positive integer factors of 5161 that divides 5161 without a remainder.
1,13,397,5161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 247,5161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 247,5161 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 817,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 262257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/262257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/817,5161/321 is 13/262257
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 817,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(817,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(817,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(817,321) = ( 817 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(817,321) = 262257 / 1
LCM(817,321) = 262257
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
