Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 277/843,382/427
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 277,382
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 277,382 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 843,427 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 843,427 is 359961 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 277,382
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 277
List of positive integer factors of 277 that divides 277 without a remainder.
1,277
Factors of 382
List of positive integer factors of 382 that divides 382 without a remainder.
1,2,191,382
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 277,382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 277,382 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 359961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/359961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 277/843,382/427 is 1/359961
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 843,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,427) = ( 843 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(843,427) = 359961 / 1
LCM(843,427) = 359961
