Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 515/944,421/892
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 515,421
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 515,421 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 944,892 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 944,892 is 210512 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 515,421
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 515

1,5,103,515
Factors of 421
List of positive integer factors of 421 that divides 421 without a remainder.
1,421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 515,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 515,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 944,892
2 | 944, 892 |
2 | 472, 446 |
236, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 236 x 223 = 210512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/210512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 515/944,421/892 is 1/210512
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 944,892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,892) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,892) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(944,892) = ( 944 × 892 ) / 4
LCM(944,892) = 842048 / 4
LCM(944,892) = 210512
