Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 947/41,609/243
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 947,609
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 947,609 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,243 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,243 is 9963 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 947,609
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 947
List of positive integer factors of 947 that divides 947 without a remainder.
1,947
Factors of 609
List of positive integer factors of 609 that divides 609 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,29,87,203,609
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 947,609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 947,609 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9963
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9963
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 947/41,609/243 is 1/9963
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 41,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,243) = ( 41 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(41,243) = 9963 / 1
LCM(41,243) = 9963
