Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 49/521,686/469
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 49,686
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 49,686 is 49 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 521,469 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 521,469 is 244349 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 49,686
7 | 49, 686 |
7 | 7, 98 |
1, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 7 = 49
Factors of 49
List of positive integer factors of 49 that divides 49 without a remainder.
1,7,49
Factors of 686
List of positive integer factors of 686 that divides 686 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,686 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,469
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 244349
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/244349
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/521,686/469 is 49/244349
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 521,469 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,469) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,469) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,469) = ( 521 × 469 ) / 1
LCM(521,469) = 244349 / 1
LCM(521,469) = 244349
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
