Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 527/17,1957/537
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 527,1957
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 527,1957 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,537 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,537 is 9129 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 527,1957
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 527
List of positive integer factors of 527 that divides 527 without a remainder.
1,17,31,527
Factors of 1957
List of positive integer factors of 1957 that divides 1957 without a remainder.
1,19,103,1957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 527,1957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 527,1957 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9129
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9129
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 527/17,1957/537 is 1/9129
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 17,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,537) = ( 17 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(17,537) = 9129 / 1
LCM(17,537) = 9129
