Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 21/402, 31/436 i.e 1/87636 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 21/402, 31/436.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/402,31/436
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 21/402,31/436, numerators are 21,31
Denominators are 402,436
The GCF of 21,31 is 1 .
LCM of 402,436 is 87636.
The greatest common factor of 21/402,31/436 = [GCF of 21,31]/[LCM of 402,436]= 1/87636
Therefore, the GCF of 21/402,31/436 is 1/87636.
To find the highest common factor of 21,31, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21
The factors of 31 are 1, 31
The HCF of 21,31 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,31
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,436
2 | 402, 436 |
201, 218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 201 x 218 = 87636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/402,31/436 is 1/87636
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 402,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,436) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,436) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(402,436) = ( 402 × 436 ) / 2
LCM(402,436) = 175272 / 2
LCM(402,436) = 87636
