Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 271/15,521/341
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 271,521
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 271,521 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,341 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,341 is 5115 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 271,521
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 271
List of positive integer factors of 271 that divides 271 without a remainder.
1,271
Factors of 521
List of positive integer factors of 521 that divides 521 without a remainder.
1,521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 271,521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 271,521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/15,521/341 is 1/5115
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 15,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,341) = ( 15 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(15,341) = 5115 / 1
LCM(15,341) = 5115
