Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 914/21,894/621
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 914,894
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 914,894 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,621 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,621 is 4347 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 914,894
2 | 914, 894 |
457, 447 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 914
List of positive integer factors of 914 that divides 914 without a remainder.
1,2,457,914
Factors of 894
List of positive integer factors of 894 that divides 894 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,149,298,447,894
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 914,894 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 914,894 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,621
3 | 21, 621 |
7, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 207 = 4347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 914/21,894/621 is 2/4347
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 21,621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,621) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,621) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,621) = ( 21 × 621 ) / 3
LCM(21,621) = 13041 / 3
LCM(21,621) = 4347
