Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2957/634,2221/299
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 2957,2221
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2957,2221 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 634,299 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 634,299 is 189566 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2957,2221
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 2957
List of positive integer factors of 2957 that divides 2957 without a remainder.
1,2957
Factors of 2221
List of positive integer factors of 2221 that divides 2221 without a remainder.
1,2221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2957,2221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2957,2221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 634,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/189566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2957/634,2221/299 is 1/189566
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 634,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(634,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(634,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(634,299) = ( 634 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(634,299) = 189566 / 1
LCM(634,299) = 189566
