Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 381/803,1156/983
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 381,1156
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 381,1156 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 803,983 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 803,983 is 789349 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 381,1156
∴ 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 1156
List of positive integer factors of 1156 that divides 1156 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,34,68,289,578,1156
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 381,1156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 381,1156 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 803,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 789349
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/789349
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 381/803,1156/983 is 1/789349
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 803,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(803,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(803,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(803,983) = ( 803 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(803,983) = 789349 / 1
LCM(803,983) = 789349
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
