Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/197,543/237
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 71,543
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 71,543 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 197,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 197,237 is 46689 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,543
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Factors of 543
List of positive integer factors of 543 that divides 543 without a remainder.
1,3,181,543
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,543 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46689
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46689
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/197,543/237 is 1/46689
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 197,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,237) = ( 197 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(197,237) = 46689 / 1
LCM(197,237) = 46689
