Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 541/397,687/704
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 541,687
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 541,687 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 397,704 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 397,704 is 279488 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 541,687
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 541
List of positive integer factors of 541 that divides 541 without a remainder.
1,541
Factors of 687
List of positive integer factors of 687 that divides 687 without a remainder.
1,3,229,687
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 541,687 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 541,687 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,704
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 541/397,687/704 is 1/279488
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 397,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,704) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,704) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,704) = ( 397 × 704 ) / 1
LCM(397,704) = 279488 / 1
LCM(397,704) = 279488
