Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 443/36,998/557
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 443,998
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 443,998 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,557 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,557 is 20052 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 443,998
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 443
List of positive integer factors of 443 that divides 443 without a remainder.
1,443
Factors of 998
List of positive integer factors of 998 that divides 998 without a remainder.
1,2,499,998
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 443,998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 443,998 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 443/36,998/557 is 1/20052
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 36,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,557) = ( 36 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(36,557) = 20052 / 1
LCM(36,557) = 20052
