Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 579/52,942/5403
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 579,942
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 579,942 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,5403 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,5403 is 280956 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 579,942
3 | 579, 942 |
193, 314 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 579
List of positive integer factors of 579 that divides 579 without a remainder.
1,3,193,579
Factors of 942
List of positive integer factors of 942 that divides 942 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,157,314,471,942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 579,942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 579,942 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,5403
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/280956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/52,942/5403 is 3/280956
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 52,5403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,5403) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,5403) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,5403) = ( 52 × 5403 ) / 1
LCM(52,5403) = 280956 / 1
LCM(52,5403) = 280956
