Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/77,9943/946
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 253,9943
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,9943 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,946 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,946 is 6622 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,9943
∴ 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 9943
List of positive integer factors of 9943 that divides 9943 without a remainder.
1,61,163,9943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,9943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,9943 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,946
11 | 77, 946 |
7, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 7 x 86 = 6622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/77,9943/946 is 1/6622
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 77,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,946) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,946) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(77,946) = ( 77 × 946 ) / 11
LCM(77,946) = 72842 / 11
LCM(77,946) = 6622
