Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 471/43,525/8121
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 471,525
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 471,525 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,8121 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,8121 is 349203 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 471,525
3 | 471, 525 |
157, 175 |
∴ 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 525
List of positive integer factors of 525 that divides 525 without a remainder.
1,3,5,7,15,21,25,35,75,105,175,525
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,525 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,525 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,8121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349203
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/349203
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/43,525/8121 is 3/349203
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 43,8121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,8121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,8121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,8121) = ( 43 × 8121 ) / 1
LCM(43,8121) = 349203 / 1
LCM(43,8121) = 349203
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
