Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 446/52,781/173
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 446,781
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 446,781 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,173 is 8996 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 446,781
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 446
List of positive integer factors of 446 that divides 446 without a remainder.
1,2,223,446
Factors of 781
List of positive integer factors of 781 that divides 781 without a remainder.
1,11,71,781
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 446,781 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 446,781 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 446/52,781/173 is 1/8996
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 52,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,173) = ( 52 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(52,173) = 8996 / 1
LCM(52,173) = 8996
