Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 319/21,512/871
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 319,512
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 319,512 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,871 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,871 is 18291 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 319,512
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 319
List of positive integer factors of 319 that divides 319 without a remainder.
1,11,29,319
Factors of 512
List of positive integer factors of 512 that divides 512 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 319,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 319,512 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18291
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18291
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/21,512/871 is 1/18291
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 21,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,871) = ( 21 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(21,871) = 18291 / 1
LCM(21,871) = 18291
