Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 373/531,8482/360
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 373,8482
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 373,8482 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 531,360 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 531,360 is 21240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 373,8482

1,2,4241,8482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 373,8482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 373,8482 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,360
3 | 531, 360 |
3 | 177, 120 |
59, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 59 x 40 = 21240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 373/531,8482/360 is 1/21240
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 531,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,360) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,360) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(531,360) = ( 531 × 360 ) / 9
LCM(531,360) = 191160 / 9
LCM(531,360) = 21240
