Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 287/71,221/6801
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 287,221
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 287,221 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,6801 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,6801 is 482871 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 287,221
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 287
List of positive integer factors of 287 that divides 287 without a remainder.
1,7,41,287
Factors of 221
List of positive integer factors of 221 that divides 221 without a remainder.
1,13,17,221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 287,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 287,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,6801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 482871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/482871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 287/71,221/6801 is 1/482871
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 71,6801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,6801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,6801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,6801) = ( 71 × 6801 ) / 1
LCM(71,6801) = 482871 / 1
LCM(71,6801) = 482871
