Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4207/61,1521/972
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 4207,1521
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4207,1521 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,972 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,972 is 59292 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4207,1521
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 4207
List of positive integer factors of 4207 that divides 4207 without a remainder.
1,7,601,4207
Factors of 1521
List of positive integer factors of 1521 that divides 1521 without a remainder.
1,3,9,13,39,117,169,507,1521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4207,1521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4207,1521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4207/61,1521/972 is 1/59292
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 61,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,972) = ( 61 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(61,972) = 59292 / 1
LCM(61,972) = 59292
