Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 717/587,362/301
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 717,362
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 717,362 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 587,301 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 587,301 is 176687 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 717,362
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 717
List of positive integer factors of 717 that divides 717 without a remainder.
1,3,239,717
Factors of 362
List of positive integer factors of 362 that divides 362 without a remainder.
1,2,181,362
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 717,362 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 717,362 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,301
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/587,362/301 is 1/176687
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 587,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,301) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,301) = ( 587 × 301 ) / 1
LCM(587,301) = 176687 / 1
LCM(587,301) = 176687
