Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 419/42,844/741
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 419,844
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 419,844 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,741 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,741 is 10374 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 419,844
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 419
List of positive integer factors of 419 that divides 419 without a remainder.
1,419
Factors of 844
List of positive integer factors of 844 that divides 844 without a remainder.
1,2,4,211,422,844
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 419,844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 419,844 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,741
3 | 42, 741 |
14, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 247 = 10374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 419/42,844/741 is 1/10374
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 42,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,741) = ( 42 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(42,741) = 31122 / 3
LCM(42,741) = 10374
