Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 959/27,201/441
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 959,201
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 959,201 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,441 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,441 is 1323 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 959,201
∴ 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 201
List of positive integer factors of 201 that divides 201 without a remainder.
1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,441
3 | 27, 441 |
3 | 9, 147 |
3, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 49 = 1323
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1323
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/27,201/441 is 1/1323
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 27,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,441) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,441) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(27,441) = ( 27 × 441 ) / 9
LCM(27,441) = 11907 / 9
LCM(27,441) = 1323
