Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 545/987,1583/986
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 545,1583
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 545,1583 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 987,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 987,986 is 973182 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 545,1583
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 545
List of positive integer factors of 545 that divides 545 without a remainder.
1,5,109,545
Factors of 1583
List of positive integer factors of 1583 that divides 1583 without a remainder.
1,1583
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 545,1583 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 545,1583 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 973182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/973182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/987,1583/986 is 1/973182
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 987,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,986) = ( 987 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(987,986) = 973182 / 1
LCM(987,986) = 973182
