Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 581/98,1487/295
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 581,1487
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 581,1487 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,295 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,295 is 28910 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 581,1487
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 581
List of positive integer factors of 581 that divides 581 without a remainder.
1,7,83,581
Factors of 1487
List of positive integer factors of 1487 that divides 1487 without a remainder.
1,1487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 581,1487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 581,1487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,295
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28910
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28910
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 581/98,1487/295 is 1/28910
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 98,295 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,295) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,295) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,295) = ( 98 × 295 ) / 1
LCM(98,295) = 28910 / 1
LCM(98,295) = 28910
