Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2557/37,3481/897
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 2557,3481
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2557,3481 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,897 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,897 is 33189 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2557,3481
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 2557
List of positive integer factors of 2557 that divides 2557 without a remainder.
1,2557
Factors of 3481
List of positive integer factors of 3481 that divides 3481 without a remainder.
1,59,3481
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2557,3481 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2557,3481 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2557/37,3481/897 is 1/33189
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 37,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,897) = ( 37 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(37,897) = 33189 / 1
LCM(37,897) = 33189
