Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 979/244,872/457
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 979,872
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 979,872 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 244,457 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 244,457 is 111508 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 979,872
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 979
List of positive integer factors of 979 that divides 979 without a remainder.
1,11,89,979
Factors of 872
List of positive integer factors of 872 that divides 872 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 979,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 979,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 979/244,872/457 is 1/111508
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 244,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(244,457) = ( 244 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(244,457) = 111508 / 1
LCM(244,457) = 111508
