Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 437/242,143/487
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 437,143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 437,143 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 242,487 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 242,487 is 117854 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 437,143
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 437
List of positive integer factors of 437 that divides 437 without a remainder.
1,19,23,437
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/242,143/487 is 1/117854
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 242,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,487) = ( 242 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(242,487) = 117854 / 1
LCM(242,487) = 117854
