Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 971/52,2521/361
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 971,2521
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 971,2521 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,361 is 18772 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 971,2521
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 971
List of positive integer factors of 971 that divides 971 without a remainder.
1,971
Factors of 2521
List of positive integer factors of 2521 that divides 2521 without a remainder.
1,2521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 971,2521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 971,2521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/52,2521/361 is 1/18772
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 52,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,361) = ( 52 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(52,361) = 18772 / 1
LCM(52,361) = 18772
