Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 721/876,556/883
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 721,556
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 721,556 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 876,883 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 876,883 is 773508 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 721,556
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 721
List of positive integer factors of 721 that divides 721 without a remainder.
1,7,103,721
Factors of 556
List of positive integer factors of 556 that divides 556 without a remainder.
1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 721,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 721,556 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 876,883
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 773508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/773508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/876,556/883 is 1/773508
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 876,883 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,883) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,883) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,883) = ( 876 × 883 ) / 1
LCM(876,883) = 773508 / 1
LCM(876,883) = 773508
