Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/60,3821/846
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 253,3821
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,3821 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,846 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,846 is 8460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,3821
∴ 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 3821
List of positive integer factors of 3821 that divides 3821 without a remainder.
1,3821
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,3821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,3821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,846
2 | 60, 846 |
3 | 30, 423 |
10, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 10 x 141 = 8460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/60,3821/846 is 1/8460
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 60,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,846) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,846) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(60,846) = ( 60 × 846 ) / 6
LCM(60,846) = 50760 / 6
LCM(60,846) = 8460
