Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3187/33,2638/973
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 3187,2638
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3187,2638 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 33,973 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 33,973 is 32109 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3187,2638
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 3187
List of positive integer factors of 3187 that divides 3187 without a remainder.
1,3187
Factors of 2638
List of positive integer factors of 2638 that divides 2638 without a remainder.
1,2,1319,2638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3187,2638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3187,2638 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32109
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32109
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3187/33,2638/973 is 1/32109
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 33,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,973) = ( 33 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(33,973) = 32109 / 1
LCM(33,973) = 32109
