Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 478/11,173/434
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 478,173
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 478,173 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,434 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,434 is 4774 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 478,173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 478
List of positive integer factors of 478 that divides 478 without a remainder.
1,2,239,478
Factors of 173
List of positive integer factors of 173 that divides 173 without a remainder.
1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 478,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 478,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,434
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4774
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4774
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 478/11,173/434 is 1/4774
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 11,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,434) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,434) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,434) = ( 11 × 434 ) / 1
LCM(11,434) = 4774 / 1
LCM(11,434) = 4774
