Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 56/971,36/433
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 56,36
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 56,36 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 971,433 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 971,433 is 420443 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 56,36
2 | 56, 36 |
2 | 28, 18 |
14, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 56
List of positive integer factors of 56 that divides 56 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Factors of 36
List of positive integer factors of 36 that divides 36 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,36 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,433
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 420443
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/420443
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/971,36/433 is 4/420443
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 971,433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,433) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,433) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,433) = ( 971 × 433 ) / 1
LCM(971,433) = 420443 / 1
LCM(971,433) = 420443
