Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 556/13,671/959
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 556,671
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 556,671 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,959 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,959 is 12467 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 556,671
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 556
List of positive integer factors of 556 that divides 556 without a remainder.
1,2,4,139,278,556
Factors of 671
List of positive integer factors of 671 that divides 671 without a remainder.
1,11,61,671
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 556,671 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 556,671 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12467
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12467
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 556/13,671/959 is 1/12467
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 13,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,959) = ( 13 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(13,959) = 12467 / 1
LCM(13,959) = 12467
