Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 428/97,679/421
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 428,679
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 428,679 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,421 is 40837 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 428,679
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 428
List of positive integer factors of 428 that divides 428 without a remainder.
1,2,4,107,214,428
Factors of 679
List of positive integer factors of 679 that divides 679 without a remainder.
1,7,97,679
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 428,679 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 428,679 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40837
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40837
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/97,679/421 is 1/40837
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 97,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,421) = ( 97 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(97,421) = 40837 / 1
LCM(97,421) = 40837
