Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4003/172,2962/521
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 4003,2962
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4003,2962 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 172,521 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 172,521 is 89612 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4003,2962
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 4003
List of positive integer factors of 4003 that divides 4003 without a remainder.
1,4003
Factors of 2962
List of positive integer factors of 2962 that divides 2962 without a remainder.
1,2,1481,2962
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4003,2962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4003,2962 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4003/172,2962/521 is 1/89612
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 172,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,521) = ( 172 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(172,521) = 89612 / 1
LCM(172,521) = 89612
