Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 487/409,638/196
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 487,638
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 487,638 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 409,196 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 409,196 is 80164 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 487,638
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 487

1,487
Factors of 638
List of positive integer factors of 638 that divides 638 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 487,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 487,638 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/80164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/409,638/196 is 1/80164
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 409,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,196) = ( 409 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(409,196) = 80164 / 1
LCM(409,196) = 80164
