Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3239/409,1451/487
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 3239,1451
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3239,1451 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 409,487 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 409,487 is 199183 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3239,1451
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 3239
List of positive integer factors of 3239 that divides 3239 without a remainder.
1,41,79,3239
Factors of 1451
List of positive integer factors of 1451 that divides 1451 without a remainder.
1,1451
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3239,1451 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3239,1451 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199183
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199183
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3239/409,1451/487 is 1/199183
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 409,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,487) = ( 409 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(409,487) = 199183 / 1
LCM(409,487) = 199183
