Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 550/19,241/663
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 550,241
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 550,241 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,663 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,663 is 12597 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 550,241
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 550
List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Factors of 241
List of positive integer factors of 241 that divides 241 without a remainder.
1,241
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 550,241 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 550,241 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,663
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 550/19,241/663 is 1/12597
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 19,663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,663) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,663) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,663) = ( 19 × 663 ) / 1
LCM(19,663) = 12597 / 1
LCM(19,663) = 12597
