Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 687/847,5378/962
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 687,5378
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 687,5378 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 847,962 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 847,962 is 814814 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 687,5378
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 687
List of positive integer factors of 687 that divides 687 without a remainder.
1,3,229,687
Factors of 5378
List of positive integer factors of 5378 that divides 5378 without a remainder.
1,2,2689,5378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 687,5378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 687,5378 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 814814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/814814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/847,5378/962 is 1/814814
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 847,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,962) = ( 847 × 962 ) / 1
LCM(847,962) = 814814 / 1
LCM(847,962) = 814814
