Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 755/21,2887/519
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 755,2887
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 755,2887 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,519 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,519 is 3633 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 755,2887
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 755
List of positive integer factors of 755 that divides 755 without a remainder.
1,5,151,755
Factors of 2887
List of positive integer factors of 2887 that divides 2887 without a remainder.
1,2887
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 755,2887 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 755,2887 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,519
3 | 21, 519 |
7, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 173 = 3633
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3633
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 755/21,2887/519 is 1/3633
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 21,519 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,519) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,519) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,519) = ( 21 × 519 ) / 3
LCM(21,519) = 10899 / 3
LCM(21,519) = 3633
