Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 466/21,487/544
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 466,487
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 466,487 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,544 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,544 is 11424 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 466,487
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 466
List of positive integer factors of 466 that divides 466 without a remainder.
1,2,233,466
Factors of 487
List of positive integer factors of 487 that divides 487 without a remainder.
1,487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 466,487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 466,487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,544
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/21,487/544 is 1/11424
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 21,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,544) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,544) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,544) = ( 21 × 544 ) / 1
LCM(21,544) = 11424 / 1
LCM(21,544) = 11424
