Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/61,482/939
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 253,482
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,482 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,939 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,939 is 57279 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,482
∴ 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 482
List of positive integer factors of 482 that divides 482 without a remainder.
1,2,241,482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,482 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/61,482/939 is 1/57279
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 61,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,939) = ( 61 × 939 ) / 1
LCM(61,939) = 57279 / 1
LCM(61,939) = 57279
