Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 504/42,545/551
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 504,545
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 504,545 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,551 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,551 is 23142 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 504,545
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 504
List of positive integer factors of 504 that divides 504 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,12,14,18,21,24,28,36,42,56,63,72,84,126,168,252,504
Factors of 545
List of positive integer factors of 545 that divides 545 without a remainder.
1,5,109,545
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,545 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,545 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/42,545/551 is 1/23142
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 42,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,551) = ( 42 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(42,551) = 23142 / 1
LCM(42,551) = 23142
