Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 480/20,3071/427
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 480,3071
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 480,3071 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,427 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,427 is 8540 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 480,3071
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 480
List of positive integer factors of 480 that divides 480 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,80,96,120,160,240,480
Factors of 3071
List of positive integer factors of 3071 that divides 3071 without a remainder.
1,37,83,3071
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,3071 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,3071 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/20,3071/427 is 1/8540
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 20,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,427) = ( 20 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(20,427) = 8540 / 1
LCM(20,427) = 8540
