Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 471/37,327/4460
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 471,327
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 471,327 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,4460 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,4460 is 165020 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 471,327
3 | 471, 327 |
157, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 471
List of positive integer factors of 471 that divides 471 without a remainder.
1,3,157,471
Factors of 327
List of positive integer factors of 327 that divides 327 without a remainder.
1,3,109,327
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,327 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,327 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,4460
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/165020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/37,327/4460 is 3/165020
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 37,4460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,4460) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,4460) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,4460) = ( 37 × 4460 ) / 1
LCM(37,4460) = 165020 / 1
LCM(37,4460) = 165020
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
