Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 631/48,2942/537
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 631,2942
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 631,2942 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 48,537 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 48,537 is 8592 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 631,2942
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 631

1,631
Factors of 2942
List of positive integer factors of 2942 that divides 2942 without a remainder.
1,2,1471,2942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 631,2942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 631,2942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,537
3 | 48, 537 |
16, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 16 x 179 = 8592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 631/48,2942/537 is 1/8592
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 48,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(48,537) = ( 48 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(48,537) = 25776 / 3
LCM(48,537) = 8592
