Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 985/373,3437/995
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 985,3437
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 985,3437 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 373,995 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 373,995 is 371135 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 985,3437
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 985
List of positive integer factors of 985 that divides 985 without a remainder.
1,5,197,985
Factors of 3437
List of positive integer factors of 3437 that divides 3437 without a remainder.
1,7,491,3437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 985,3437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 985,3437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 373,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/371135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/373,3437/995 is 1/371135
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 373,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,995) = ( 373 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(373,995) = 371135 / 1
LCM(373,995) = 371135
