Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 83/872,59/5437
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 83,59
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 83,59 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 872,5437 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 872,5437 is 4741064 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,59
∴ 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 59
List of positive integer factors of 59 that divides 59 without a remainder.
1,59
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,5437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4741064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4741064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/872,59/5437 is 1/4741064
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 872,5437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,5437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,5437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,5437) = ( 872 × 5437 ) / 1
LCM(872,5437) = 4741064 / 1
LCM(872,5437) = 4741064
