Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 43/837,17/9856
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 43/837,17/9856, numerators are 43,17
Denominators are 837,9856
The GCF of 43,17 is 1 .
LCM of 837,9856 is 8249472.
The greatest common factor of 43/837,17/9856 = [GCF of 43,17]/[LCM of 837,9856]= 1/8249472
Therefore, the GCF of 43/837,17/9856 is 1/8249472.
To find the highest common factor of 43,17, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 43 are 1, 43
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The HCF of 43,17 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 43,17
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 837,9856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8249472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8249472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/837,17/9856 is 1/8249472
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 837,9856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,9856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,9856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,9856) = ( 837 × 9856 ) / 1
LCM(837,9856) = 8249472 / 1
LCM(837,9856) = 8249472
