Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 499/702,187/562
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 499,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 499,187 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 702,562 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 702,562 is 197262 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 499,187
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 499
List of positive integer factors of 499 that divides 499 without a remainder.
1,499
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 499,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 499,187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 702,562
2 | 702, 562 |
351, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 351 x 281 = 197262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/702,187/562 is 1/197262
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 702,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(702,562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(702,562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(702,562) = ( 702 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(702,562) = 394524 / 2
LCM(702,562) = 197262
