Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 389/11,451/856
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 389,451
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 389,451 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,856 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,856 is 9416 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 389,451
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 389
List of positive integer factors of 389 that divides 389 without a remainder.
1,389
Factors of 451
List of positive integer factors of 451 that divides 451 without a remainder.
1,11,41,451
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 389,451 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 389,451 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 389/11,451/856 is 1/9416
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 11,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,856) = ( 11 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(11,856) = 9416 / 1
LCM(11,856) = 9416
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
