Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 421/497,3203/2340
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 421,3203
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 421,3203 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 497,2340 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 497,2340 is 1162980 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 421,3203
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 421
List of positive integer factors of 421 that divides 421 without a remainder.
1,421
Factors of 3203
List of positive integer factors of 3203 that divides 3203 without a remainder.
1,3203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 421,3203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 421,3203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,2340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1162980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1162980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/497,3203/2340 is 1/1162980
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 497,2340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,2340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,2340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,2340) = ( 497 × 2340 ) / 1
LCM(497,2340) = 1162980 / 1
LCM(497,2340) = 1162980
