Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5917/55,3697/243
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 5917,3697
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5917,3697 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,243 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,243 is 13365 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5917,3697
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5917
List of positive integer factors of 5917 that divides 5917 without a remainder.
1,61,97,5917
Factors of 3697
List of positive integer factors of 3697 that divides 3697 without a remainder.
1,3697
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5917,3697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5917,3697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13365
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13365
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5917/55,3697/243 is 1/13365
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 55,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,243) = ( 55 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(55,243) = 13365 / 1
LCM(55,243) = 13365
