Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 738/47,871/647
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 738,871
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 738,871 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,647 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,647 is 30409 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 738,871
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 738
List of positive integer factors of 738 that divides 738 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Factors of 871
List of positive integer factors of 871 that divides 871 without a remainder.
1,13,67,871
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,871 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,647
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30409
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30409
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/47,871/647 is 1/30409
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 47,647 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,647) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,647) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,647) = ( 47 × 647 ) / 1
LCM(47,647) = 30409 / 1
LCM(47,647) = 30409
