Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5281/231,3849/505
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 5281,3849
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5281,3849 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 231,505 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 231,505 is 116655 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5281,3849
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5281
List of positive integer factors of 5281 that divides 5281 without a remainder.
1,5281
Factors of 3849
List of positive integer factors of 3849 that divides 3849 without a remainder.
1,3,1283,3849
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5281,3849 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5281,3849 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116655
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116655
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5281/231,3849/505 is 1/116655
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 231,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,505) = ( 231 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(231,505) = 116655 / 1
LCM(231,505) = 116655
