Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 959/194,687/373
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 959,687
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 959,687 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 194,373 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 194,373 is 72362 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 959,687
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 959
List of positive integer factors of 959 that divides 959 without a remainder.
1,7,137,959
Factors of 687
List of positive integer factors of 687 that divides 687 without a remainder.
1,3,229,687
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,687 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,687 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 194,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/194,687/373 is 1/72362
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 194,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(194,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(194,373) = ( 194 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(194,373) = 72362 / 1
LCM(194,373) = 72362
