Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 427/76,989/251
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 427,989
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 427,989 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 76,251 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 76,251 is 19076 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 427,989
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 427
List of positive integer factors of 427 that divides 427 without a remainder.
1,7,61,427
Factors of 989
List of positive integer factors of 989 that divides 989 without a remainder.
1,23,43,989
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 427,989 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 427,989 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 427/76,989/251 is 1/19076
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 76,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(76,251) = ( 76 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(76,251) = 19076 / 1
LCM(76,251) = 19076
