Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/539,723/749
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 37,723
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,723 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 539,749 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 539,749 is 57673 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,723
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Factors of 723
List of positive integer factors of 723 that divides 723 without a remainder.
1,3,241,723
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,723 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,723 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 539,749
7 | 539, 749 |
77, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 77 x 107 = 57673
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/57673
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/539,723/749 is 1/57673
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 539,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,749) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,749) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(539,749) = ( 539 × 749 ) / 7
LCM(539,749) = 403711 / 7
LCM(539,749) = 57673
