Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/524,479/473
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 46,479
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,479 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 524,473 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 524,473 is 247852 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,479
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Factors of 479
List of positive integer factors of 479 that divides 479 without a remainder.
1,479
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,479 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,479 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 524,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/247852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/524,479/473 is 1/247852
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 524,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(524,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(524,473) = ( 524 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(524,473) = 247852 / 1
LCM(524,473) = 247852
