Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 267/473,472/494
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 267,472
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 267,472 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 473,494 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 473,494 is 233662 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 267,472
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 267
List of positive integer factors of 267 that divides 267 without a remainder.
1,3,89,267
Factors of 472
List of positive integer factors of 472 that divides 472 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 267,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 267,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 233662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/233662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 267/473,472/494 is 1/233662
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 473,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,494) = ( 473 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(473,494) = 233662 / 1
LCM(473,494) = 233662
