Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5737/493,2359/400
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 5737,2359
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5737,2359 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 493,400 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 493,400 is 197200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5737,2359
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5737
List of positive integer factors of 5737 that divides 5737 without a remainder.
1,5737
Factors of 2359
List of positive integer factors of 2359 that divides 2359 without a remainder.
1,7,337,2359
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5737,2359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5737,2359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,400
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5737/493,2359/400 is 1/197200
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 493,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,400) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,400) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,400) = ( 493 × 400 ) / 1
LCM(493,400) = 197200 / 1
LCM(493,400) = 197200
