Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 432/578,905/659
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 432,905
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 432,905 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 578,659 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 578,659 is 380902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 432,905
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 432
List of positive integer factors of 432 that divides 432 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,36,48,54,72,108,144,216,432
Factors of 905
List of positive integer factors of 905 that divides 905 without a remainder.
1,5,181,905
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 432,905 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,905 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 380902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/380902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/578,905/659 is 1/380902
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 578,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,659) = ( 578 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(578,659) = 380902 / 1
LCM(578,659) = 380902
