Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 262/331,3217/645
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 262,3217
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 262,3217 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 331,645 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 331,645 is 213495 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 262,3217
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 262
List of positive integer factors of 262 that divides 262 without a remainder.
1,2,131,262
Factors of 3217
List of positive integer factors of 3217 that divides 3217 without a remainder.
1,3217
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 262,3217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,3217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 213495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/213495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/331,3217/645 is 1/213495
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 331,645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,645) = ( 331 × 645 ) / 1
LCM(331,645) = 213495 / 1
LCM(331,645) = 213495
