Given fractions are 86/998,7537/3939
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 86,7537
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 86,7537 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 998,3939 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 998,3939 is 3931122 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 86,7537
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 86
List of positive integer factors of 86 that divides 86 without a remainder.
1,2,43,86
Factors of 7537
List of positive integer factors of 7537 that divides 7537 without a remainder.
1,7537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,7537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,7537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 998,3939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3931122
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3931122
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/998,7537/3939 is 1/3931122
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 998,3939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(998,3939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(998,3939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(998,3939) = ( 998 × 3939 ) / 1
LCM(998,3939) = 3931122 / 1
LCM(998,3939) = 3931122
