Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 746/173,7419/491
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 746,7419
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 746,7419 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,491 is 84943 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 746,7419
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 746
List of positive integer factors of 746 that divides 746 without a remainder.
1,2,373,746
Factors of 7419
List of positive integer factors of 7419 that divides 7419 without a remainder.
1,3,2473,7419
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 746,7419 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 746,7419 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84943
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84943
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 746/173,7419/491 is 1/84943
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 173,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,491) = ( 173 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(173,491) = 84943 / 1
LCM(173,491) = 84943
