Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 68/918,491/273
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 68,491
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 68,491 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 918,273 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 918,273 is 83538 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 68,491
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 68
List of positive integer factors of 68 that divides 68 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,34,68
Factors of 491
List of positive integer factors of 491 that divides 491 without a remainder.
1,491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 918,273
3 | 918, 273 |
306, 91 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 306 x 91 = 83538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/918,491/273 is 1/83538
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 918,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(918,273) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(918,273) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(918,273) = ( 918 × 273 ) / 3
LCM(918,273) = 250614 / 3
LCM(918,273) = 83538
