Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 497/43,956/729
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 497,956
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 497,956 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,729 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,729 is 31347 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 497,956
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 497
List of positive integer factors of 497 that divides 497 without a remainder.
1,7,71,497
Factors of 956
List of positive integer factors of 956 that divides 956 without a remainder.
1,2,4,239,478,956
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 497,956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 497,956 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/43,956/729 is 1/31347
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 43,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,729) = ( 43 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(43,729) = 31347 / 1
LCM(43,729) = 31347
