Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 263/87,491/2491
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 263,491
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 263,491 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,2491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,2491 is 216717 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 263,491
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 263
List of positive integer factors of 263 that divides 263 without a remainder.
1,263
Factors of 491
List of positive integer factors of 491 that divides 491 without a remainder.
1,491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 263,491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 263,491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,2491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216717
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/216717
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 263/87,491/2491 is 1/216717
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 87,2491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,2491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,2491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,2491) = ( 87 × 2491 ) / 1
LCM(87,2491) = 216717 / 1
LCM(87,2491) = 216717
