Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 537/593,862/461
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 537,862
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 537,862 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 593,461 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 593,461 is 273373 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 537,862
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 537
List of positive integer factors of 537 that divides 537 without a remainder.
1,3,179,537
Factors of 862
List of positive integer factors of 862 that divides 862 without a remainder.
1,2,431,862
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 537,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 537,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 593,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 273373
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/273373
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/593,862/461 is 1/273373
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 593,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(593,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(593,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(593,461) = ( 593 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(593,461) = 273373 / 1
LCM(593,461) = 273373
