Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 991/86,1517/866
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 991,1517
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 991,1517 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,866 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,866 is 37238 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 991,1517
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 991
List of positive integer factors of 991 that divides 991 without a remainder.
1,991
Factors of 1517
List of positive integer factors of 1517 that divides 1517 without a remainder.
1,37,41,1517
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 991,1517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 991,1517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,866
2 | 86, 866 |
43, 433 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 433 = 37238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/86,1517/866 is 1/37238
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 86,866 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,866) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,866) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,866) = ( 86 × 866 ) / 2
LCM(86,866) = 74476 / 2
LCM(86,866) = 37238
