Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 31/471,311/986
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 31,311
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 31,311 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 471,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 471,986 is 464406 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 31,311
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Factors of 311
List of positive integer factors of 311 that divides 311 without a remainder.
1,311
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,311 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,311 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 471,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 464406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/464406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/471,311/986 is 1/464406
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 471,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,986) = ( 471 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(471,986) = 464406 / 1
LCM(471,986) = 464406
