Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 496/938,101/879
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 496,101
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 496,101 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 938,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 938,879 is 824502 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 496,101
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 496
List of positive integer factors of 496 that divides 496 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,31,62,124,248,496
Factors of 101
List of positive integer factors of 101 that divides 101 without a remainder.
1,101
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 496,101 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 496,101 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 824502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/824502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/938,101/879 is 1/824502
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 938,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,879) = ( 938 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(938,879) = 824502 / 1
LCM(938,879) = 824502
