Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 278/79,303/9884
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 278,303
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 278,303 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,9884 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,9884 is 780836 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 278,303
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 278
List of positive integer factors of 278 that divides 278 without a remainder.
1,2,139,278
Factors of 303
List of positive integer factors of 303 that divides 303 without a remainder.
1,3,101,303
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 278,303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 278,303 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,9884
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 780836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/780836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 278/79,303/9884 is 1/780836
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 79,9884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,9884) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,9884) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,9884) = ( 79 × 9884 ) / 1
LCM(79,9884) = 780836 / 1
LCM(79,9884) = 780836
