Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 274/429,841/542
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 274,841
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 274,841 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 429,542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 429,542 is 232518 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 274,841
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 274
List of positive integer factors of 274 that divides 274 without a remainder.
1,2,137,274
Factors of 841
List of positive integer factors of 841 that divides 841 without a remainder.
1,29,841
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 274,841 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 274,841 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 274/429,841/542 is 1/232518
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 429,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,542) = ( 429 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(429,542) = 232518 / 1
LCM(429,542) = 232518
