Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3079/994,5861/737
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 3079,5861
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3079,5861 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 994,737 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 994,737 is 732578 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3079,5861
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 3079
List of positive integer factors of 3079 that divides 3079 without a remainder.
1,3079
Factors of 5861
List of positive integer factors of 5861 that divides 5861 without a remainder.
1,5861
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3079,5861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3079,5861 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 994,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 732578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/732578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3079/994,5861/737 is 1/732578
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 994,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(994,737) = ( 994 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(994,737) = 732578 / 1
LCM(994,737) = 732578
