Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 391/40,125/427
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 391,125
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 391,125 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,427 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,427 is 17080 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 391,125
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 391
List of positive integer factors of 391 that divides 391 without a remainder.
1,17,23,391
Factors of 125
List of positive integer factors of 125 that divides 125 without a remainder.
1,5,25,125
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,125 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,125 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/40,125/427 is 1/17080
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 40,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,427) = ( 40 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(40,427) = 17080 / 1
LCM(40,427) = 17080
