Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 895/443,485/956
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 895,485
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 895,485 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 443,956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 443,956 is 423508 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 895,485
5 | 895, 485 |
179, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 895
List of positive integer factors of 895 that divides 895 without a remainder.
1,5,179,895
Factors of 485
List of positive integer factors of 485 that divides 485 without a remainder.
1,5,97,485
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,485 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,485 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 423508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/423508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/443,485/956 is 5/423508
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 443,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,956) = ( 443 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(443,956) = 423508 / 1
LCM(443,956) = 423508
