Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/731,172/879
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 52,172
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,172 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 731,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 731,879 is 642549 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,172
2 | 52, 172 |
2 | 26, 86 |
13, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 172
List of positive integer factors of 172 that divides 172 without a remainder.
1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,172 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 642549
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/642549
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/731,172/879 is 4/642549
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 731,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,879) = ( 731 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(731,879) = 642549 / 1
LCM(731,879) = 642549
