Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 23/542,79/677
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 23/542,79/677, numerators are 23,79
Denominators are 542,677
The GCF of 23,79 is 1 .
LCM of 542,677 is 366934.
The greatest common factor of 23/542,79/677 = [GCF of 23,79]/[LCM of 542,677]= 1/366934
Therefore, the GCF of 23/542,79/677 is 1/366934.
To find the highest common factor of 23,79, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 23 are 1, 23
The factors of 79 are 1, 79
The HCF of 23,79 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 23,79
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 366934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/366934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/542,79/677 is 1/366934
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 542,677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,677) = ( 542 × 677 ) / 1
LCM(542,677) = 366934 / 1
LCM(542,677) = 366934
