Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/478,43/1705
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 21/478,43/1705, numerators are 21,43
Denominators are 478,1705
The GCF of 21,43 is 1 .
LCM of 478,1705 is 814990.
The greatest common factor of 21/478,43/1705 = [GCF of 21,43]/[LCM of 478,1705]= 1/814990
Therefore, the GCF of 21/478,43/1705 is 1/814990.
To find the highest common factor of 21,43, 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 43 are 1, 43
The HCF of 21,43 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,43
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,1705
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 814990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/814990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/478,43/1705 is 1/814990
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 478,1705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,1705) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,1705) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,1705) = ( 478 × 1705 ) / 1
LCM(478,1705) = 814990 / 1
LCM(478,1705) = 814990
