Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 387/402,223/937
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 387,223
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 387,223 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 402,937 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 402,937 is 376674 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 387,223
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 387
List of positive integer factors of 387 that divides 387 without a remainder.
1,3,9,43,129,387
Factors of 223
List of positive integer factors of 223 that divides 223 without a remainder.
1,223
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,223 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,223 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 376674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/376674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/402,223/937 is 1/376674
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 402,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(402,937) = ( 402 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(402,937) = 376674 / 1
LCM(402,937) = 376674
