Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5991/41,3497/573
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 5991,3497
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5991,3497 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,573 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,573 is 23493 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5991,3497
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5991
List of positive integer factors of 5991 that divides 5991 without a remainder.
1,3,1997,5991
Factors of 3497
List of positive integer factors of 3497 that divides 3497 without a remainder.
1,13,269,3497
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5991,3497 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5991,3497 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,573
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23493
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23493
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5991/41,3497/573 is 1/23493
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 41,573 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,573) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,573) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,573) = ( 41 × 573 ) / 1
LCM(41,573) = 23493 / 1
LCM(41,573) = 23493
