Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 279/54,821/227
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 279,821
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 279,821 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,227 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,227 is 12258 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 279,821
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 279
List of positive integer factors of 279 that divides 279 without a remainder.
1,3,9,31,93,279
Factors of 821
List of positive integer factors of 821 that divides 821 without a remainder.
1,821
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/54,821/227 is 1/12258
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 54,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(54,227) = ( 54 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(54,227) = 12258 / 1
LCM(54,227) = 12258
