Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 591/408,7143/283
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 591,7143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 591,7143 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 408,283 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 408,283 is 115464 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 591,7143
3 | 591, 7143 |
197, 2381 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 591
List of positive integer factors of 591 that divides 591 without a remainder.
1,3,197,591
Factors of 7143
List of positive integer factors of 7143 that divides 7143 without a remainder.
1,3,2381,7143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,7143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,7143 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 408,283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/115464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/408,7143/283 is 3/115464
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 408,283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(408,283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(408,283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(408,283) = ( 408 × 283 ) / 1
LCM(408,283) = 115464 / 1
LCM(408,283) = 115464
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
