Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 895/958,2998/227
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 895,2998
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 895,2998 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 958,227 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 958,227 is 217466 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 895,2998
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 895
List of positive integer factors of 895 that divides 895 without a remainder.
1,5,179,895
Factors of 2998
List of positive integer factors of 2998 that divides 2998 without a remainder.
1,2,1499,2998
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 895,2998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 895,2998 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/217466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 895/958,2998/227 is 1/217466
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 958,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(958,227) = ( 958 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(958,227) = 217466 / 1
LCM(958,227) = 217466
