Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 431/34,285/356
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 431,285
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 431,285 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 34,356 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 34,356 is 6052 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 431,285
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 431
List of positive integer factors of 431 that divides 431 without a remainder.
1,431
Factors of 285
List of positive integer factors of 285 that divides 285 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,19,57,95,285
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,285 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,285 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,356
2 | 34, 356 |
17, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 178 = 6052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/34,285/356 is 1/6052
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 34,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,356) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,356) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,356) = ( 34 × 356 ) / 2
LCM(34,356) = 12104 / 2
LCM(34,356) = 6052
