Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 841/87,419/2974
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 841,419
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 841,419 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,2974 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,2974 is 258738 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 841,419
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 841
List of positive integer factors of 841 that divides 841 without a remainder.
1,29,841
Factors of 419
List of positive integer factors of 419 that divides 419 without a remainder.
1,419
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 841,419 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 841,419 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,2974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/258738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 841/87,419/2974 is 1/258738
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 87,2974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,2974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,2974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,2974) = ( 87 × 2974 ) / 1
LCM(87,2974) = 258738 / 1
LCM(87,2974) = 258738
