Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 746/397,1043/560
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 746,1043
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 746,1043 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 397,560 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 397,560 is 222320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 746,1043
∴ 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 1043
List of positive integer factors of 1043 that divides 1043 without a remainder.
1,7,149,1043
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 746,1043 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 746,1043 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 222320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/222320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 746/397,1043/560 is 1/222320
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 397,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,560) = ( 397 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(397,560) = 222320 / 1
LCM(397,560) = 222320
