Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 542/60,879/1923
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 542,879
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 542,879 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,1923 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,1923 is 38460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 542,879
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Factors of 879
List of positive integer factors of 879 that divides 879 without a remainder.
1,3,293,879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 542,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 542,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,1923
3 | 60, 1923 |
20, 641 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 20 x 641 = 38460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/60,879/1923 is 1/38460
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 60,1923 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,1923) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,1923) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(60,1923) = ( 60 × 1923 ) / 3
LCM(60,1923) = 115380 / 3
LCM(60,1923) = 38460
