Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 547/40,6521/973
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 547,6521
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 547,6521 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,973 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,973 is 38920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 547,6521
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 547
List of positive integer factors of 547 that divides 547 without a remainder.
1,547
Factors of 6521
List of positive integer factors of 6521 that divides 6521 without a remainder.
1,6521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 547,6521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 547,6521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 547/40,6521/973 is 1/38920
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 40,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,973) = ( 40 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(40,973) = 38920 / 1
LCM(40,973) = 38920
