Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 317/213,537/391
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 317,537
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 317,537 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 213,391 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 213,391 is 83283 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 317,537
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 317
List of positive integer factors of 317 that divides 317 without a remainder.
1,317
Factors of 537
List of positive integer factors of 537 that divides 537 without a remainder.
1,3,179,537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 317,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 317,537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 213,391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83283
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83283
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 317/213,537/391 is 1/83283
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 213,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(213,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(213,391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(213,391) = ( 213 × 391 ) / 1
LCM(213,391) = 83283 / 1
LCM(213,391) = 83283
