Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 466/85,121/249
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 466,121
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 466,121 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 85,249 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 85,249 is 21165 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 466,121
∴ 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 121
List of positive integer factors of 121 that divides 121 without a remainder.
1,11,121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 466,121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 466,121 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21165
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21165
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/85,121/249 is 1/21165
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 85,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,249) = ( 85 × 249 ) / 1
LCM(85,249) = 21165 / 1
LCM(85,249) = 21165
