Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 381/54,739/171
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 381,739
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 381,739 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,171 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,171 is 1026 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 381,739
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 381
List of positive integer factors of 381 that divides 381 without a remainder.
1,3,127,381
Factors of 739
List of positive integer factors of 739 that divides 739 without a remainder.
1,739
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 381,739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 381,739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,171
3 | 54, 171 |
3 | 18, 57 |
6, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 6 x 19 = 1026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 381/54,739/171 is 1/1026
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 54,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,171) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,171) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(54,171) = ( 54 × 171 ) / 9
LCM(54,171) = 9234 / 9
LCM(54,171) = 1026
