Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 539/86,222/956
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 539,222
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 539,222 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,956 is 41108 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 539,222
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 539
List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Factors of 222
List of positive integer factors of 222 that divides 222 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,222 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,956
2 | 86, 956 |
43, 478 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 478 = 41108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/86,222/956 is 1/41108
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 86,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,956) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,956) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,956) = ( 86 × 956 ) / 2
LCM(86,956) = 82216 / 2
LCM(86,956) = 41108
