Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 579/197,1492/897
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 579,1492
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 579,1492 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 197,897 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 197,897 is 176709 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 579,1492
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 579
List of positive integer factors of 579 that divides 579 without a remainder.
1,3,193,579
Factors of 1492
List of positive integer factors of 1492 that divides 1492 without a remainder.
1,2,4,373,746,1492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 579,1492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 579,1492 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176709
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176709
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/197,1492/897 is 1/176709
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 197,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,897) = ( 197 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(197,897) = 176709 / 1
LCM(197,897) = 176709
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
