Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 879/52,1942/197
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 879,1942
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 879,1942 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,197 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,197 is 10244 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 879,1942
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 879
List of positive integer factors of 879 that divides 879 without a remainder.
1,3,293,879
Factors of 1942
List of positive integer factors of 1942 that divides 1942 without a remainder.
1,2,971,1942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,1942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,1942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/52,1942/197 is 1/10244
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 52,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,197) = ( 52 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(52,197) = 10244 / 1
LCM(52,197) = 10244
