Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 286/63,397/361
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 286,397
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 286,397 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 63,361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 63,361 is 22743 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 286,397
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 286
List of positive integer factors of 286 that divides 286 without a remainder.
1,2,11,13,22,26,143,286
Factors of 397
List of positive integer factors of 397 that divides 397 without a remainder.
1,397
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 286,397 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 286,397 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/63,397/361 is 1/22743
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 63,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,361) = ( 63 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(63,361) = 22743 / 1
LCM(63,361) = 22743
