Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 881/173,721/425
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 881,721
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 881,721 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,425 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,425 is 73525 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 881,721
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 881
List of positive integer factors of 881 that divides 881 without a remainder.
1,881
Factors of 721
List of positive integer factors of 721 that divides 721 without a remainder.
1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 881,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 881,721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73525
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73525
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 881/173,721/425 is 1/73525
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 173,425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,425) = ( 173 × 425 ) / 1
LCM(173,425) = 73525 / 1
LCM(173,425) = 73525
