Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 838/11,461/537
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 838,461
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 838,461 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,537 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,537 is 5907 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 838,461
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 838
List of positive integer factors of 838 that divides 838 without a remainder.
1,2,419,838
Factors of 461
List of positive integer factors of 461 that divides 461 without a remainder.
1,461
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,461 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5907
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5907
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/11,461/537 is 1/5907
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 11,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,537) = ( 11 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(11,537) = 5907 / 1
LCM(11,537) = 5907
