Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 723/78,879/571
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 723,879
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 723,879 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 78,571 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 78,571 is 44538 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 723,879
3 | 723, 879 |
241, 293 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 723
List of positive integer factors of 723 that divides 723 without a remainder.
1,3,241,723
Factors of 879
List of positive integer factors of 879 that divides 879 without a remainder.
1,3,293,879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 723,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 723,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/44538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 723/78,879/571 is 3/44538
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 78,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,571) = ( 78 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(78,571) = 44538 / 1
LCM(78,571) = 44538
