Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/295,797/492
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 45,797
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,797 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 295,492 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 295,492 is 145140 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,797
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 797
List of positive integer factors of 797 that divides 797 without a remainder.
1,797
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,492
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/145140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/295,797/492 is 1/145140
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 295,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,492) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,492) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,492) = ( 295 × 492 ) / 1
LCM(295,492) = 145140 / 1
LCM(295,492) = 145140
