Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 489/45,652/981
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 489,652
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 489,652 is 163 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,981 is 4905 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 489,652
163 | 489, 652 |
3, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 163 = 163
Factors of 489
List of positive integer factors of 489 that divides 489 without a remainder.
1,3,163,489
Factors of 652
List of positive integer factors of 652 that divides 652 without a remainder.
1,2,4,163,326,652
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 489,652 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 489,652 is 163.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,981
3 | 45, 981 |
3 | 15, 327 |
5, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 5 x 109 = 4905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 163/4905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 489/45,652/981 is 163/4905
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 45,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,981) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,981) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(45,981) = ( 45 × 981 ) / 9
LCM(45,981) = 44145 / 9
LCM(45,981) = 4905
