Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 707/42,292/981
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 707,292
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 707,292 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,981 is 13734 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 707,292
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 707
List of positive integer factors of 707 that divides 707 without a remainder.
1,7,101,707
Factors of 292
List of positive integer factors of 292 that divides 292 without a remainder.
1,2,4,73,146,292
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 707,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 707,292 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,981
3 | 42, 981 |
14, 327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 327 = 13734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 707/42,292/981 is 1/13734
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 42,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,981) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,981) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,981) = ( 42 × 981 ) / 3
LCM(42,981) = 41202 / 3
LCM(42,981) = 13734
