Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 442/397,149/867
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 442,149
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 442,149 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 397,867 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 397,867 is 344199 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 442,149
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 442
List of positive integer factors of 442 that divides 442 without a remainder.
1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Factors of 149
List of positive integer factors of 149 that divides 149 without a remainder.
1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 442,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 442,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,867
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 344199
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/344199
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/397,149/867 is 1/344199
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 397,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,867) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,867) = ( 397 × 867 ) / 1
LCM(397,867) = 344199 / 1
LCM(397,867) = 344199
