Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 503/59,162/471
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 503,162
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 503,162 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,471 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,471 is 27789 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 503,162
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 503
List of positive integer factors of 503 that divides 503 without a remainder.
1,503
Factors of 162
List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 503,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 503,162 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27789
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27789
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 503/59,162/471 is 1/27789
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 59,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,471) = ( 59 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(59,471) = 27789 / 1
LCM(59,471) = 27789
