Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 83/724,842/709
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 83,842
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 83,842 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 724,709 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 724,709 is 513316 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,842
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 83
List of positive integer factors of 83 that divides 83 without a remainder.
1,83
Factors of 842
List of positive integer factors of 842 that divides 842 without a remainder.
1,2,421,842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 513316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/513316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/724,842/709 is 1/513316
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 724,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(724,709) = ( 724 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(724,709) = 513316 / 1
LCM(724,709) = 513316
