Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 403/595,2998/249
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 403,2998
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 403,2998 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 595,249 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 595,249 is 148155 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 403,2998
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 403
List of positive integer factors of 403 that divides 403 without a remainder.
1,13,31,403
Factors of 2998
List of positive integer factors of 2998 that divides 2998 without a remainder.
1,2,1499,2998
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 403,2998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 403,2998 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 595,249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148155
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/148155
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/595,2998/249 is 1/148155
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 595,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,249) = ( 595 × 249 ) / 1
LCM(595,249) = 148155 / 1
LCM(595,249) = 148155
