Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/101,7171/8339
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 253,7171
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,7171 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 101,8339 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 101,8339 is 842239 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,7171
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 253
List of positive integer factors of 253 that divides 253 without a remainder.
1,11,23,253
Factors of 7171
List of positive integer factors of 7171 that divides 7171 without a remainder.
1,71,101,7171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,7171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,7171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,8339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 842239
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/842239
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/101,7171/8339 is 1/842239
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 101,8339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,8339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,8339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,8339) = ( 101 × 8339 ) / 1
LCM(101,8339) = 842239 / 1
LCM(101,8339) = 842239
