Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 515/35,438/695
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 515,438
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 515,438 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,695 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,695 is 4865 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 515,438
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 515
List of positive integer factors of 515 that divides 515 without a remainder.
1,5,103,515
Factors of 438
List of positive integer factors of 438 that divides 438 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 515,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 515,438 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,695
5 | 35, 695 |
7, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 139 = 4865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 515/35,438/695 is 1/4865
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 35,695 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,695) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,695) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(35,695) = ( 35 × 695 ) / 5
LCM(35,695) = 24325 / 5
LCM(35,695) = 4865
