Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 521/45,741/164
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 521,741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 521,741 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,164 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,164 is 7380 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 521,741
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 521
List of positive integer factors of 521 that divides 521 without a remainder.
1,521
Factors of 741
List of positive integer factors of 741 that divides 741 without a remainder.
1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 521,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 521,741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,164
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 521/45,741/164 is 1/7380
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 45,164 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,164) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,164) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,164) = ( 45 × 164 ) / 1
LCM(45,164) = 7380 / 1
LCM(45,164) = 7380
