Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 493/17,479/9215
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 493,479
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 493,479 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,9215 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,9215 is 156655 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 493,479
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 493
List of positive integer factors of 493 that divides 493 without a remainder.
1,17,29,493
Factors of 479
List of positive integer factors of 479 that divides 479 without a remainder.
1,479
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 493,479 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 493,479 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,9215
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 156655
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/156655
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 493/17,479/9215 is 1/156655
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 17,9215 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,9215) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,9215) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,9215) = ( 17 × 9215 ) / 1
LCM(17,9215) = 156655 / 1
LCM(17,9215) = 156655
