Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2474/521,1129/498
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 2474,1129
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2474,1129 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 521,498 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 521,498 is 259458 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2474,1129
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 2474
List of positive integer factors of 2474 that divides 2474 without a remainder.
1,2,1237,2474
Factors of 1129
List of positive integer factors of 1129 that divides 1129 without a remainder.
1,1129
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2474,1129 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2474,1129 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,498
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 259458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/259458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2474/521,1129/498 is 1/259458
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 521,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,498) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,498) = ( 521 × 498 ) / 1
LCM(521,498) = 259458 / 1
LCM(521,498) = 259458
