Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 487/496,157/868
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 487,157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 487,157 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 496,868 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 496,868 is 3472 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 487,157

1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 487,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 487,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,868
2 | 496, 868 |
2 | 248, 434 |
31 | 124, 217 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 31 x 4 x 7 = 3472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/496,157/868 is 1/3472
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 496,868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,868) = 124
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,868) x common factors =124 x 1 = 124
LCM(496,868) = ( 496 × 868 ) / 124
LCM(496,868) = 430528 / 124
LCM(496,868) = 3472
