Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 921/265,278/738
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 921,278
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 921,278 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 265,738 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 265,738 is 195570 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 921,278
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 921
List of positive integer factors of 921 that divides 921 without a remainder.
1,3,307,921
Factors of 278
List of positive integer factors of 278 that divides 278 without a remainder.
1,2,139,278
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 921,278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 921,278 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 265,738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 195570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/195570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 921/265,278/738 is 1/195570
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 265,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,738) = ( 265 × 738 ) / 1
LCM(265,738) = 195570 / 1
LCM(265,738) = 195570
