Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 293/38,5059/721
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 293,5059
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 293,5059 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,721 is 27398 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 293,5059
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 293
List of positive integer factors of 293 that divides 293 without a remainder.
1,293
Factors of 5059
List of positive integer factors of 5059 that divides 5059 without a remainder.
1,5059
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 293,5059 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 293,5059 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/38,5059/721 is 1/27398
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 38,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,721) = ( 38 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(38,721) = 27398 / 1
LCM(38,721) = 27398
