Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 531/20,978/3077
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 531,978
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 531,978 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,3077 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,3077 is 61540 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 531,978
3 | 531, 978 |
177, 326 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 531
List of positive integer factors of 531 that divides 531 without a remainder.
1,3,9,59,177,531
Factors of 978
List of positive integer factors of 978 that divides 978 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,163,326,489,978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 531,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 531,978 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,3077
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/61540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 531/20,978/3077 is 3/61540
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 20,3077 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,3077) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,3077) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,3077) = ( 20 × 3077 ) / 1
LCM(20,3077) = 61540 / 1
LCM(20,3077) = 61540
