Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 257/853,332/903
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 257,332
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 257,332 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 853,903 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 853,903 is 770259 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 257,332
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 257
List of positive integer factors of 257 that divides 257 without a remainder.
1,257
Factors of 332
List of positive integer factors of 332 that divides 332 without a remainder.
1,2,4,83,166,332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 257,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 257,332 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 853,903
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 770259
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/770259
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 257/853,332/903 is 1/770259
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 853,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,903) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,903) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,903) = ( 853 × 903 ) / 1
LCM(853,903) = 770259 / 1
LCM(853,903) = 770259
