Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 62/436,31/1063
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 62/436,31/1063, numerators are 62,31
Denominators are 436,1063
The GCF of 62,31 is 31 .
LCM of 436,1063 is 463468.
The greatest common factor of 62/436,31/1063 = [GCF of 62,31]/[LCM of 436,1063]= 31/463468
Therefore, the GCF of 62/436,31/1063 is 31/463468.
To find the highest common factor of 62,31, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, 62
The factors of 31 are 1, 31
The HCF of 62,31 is 31.
Lets's calculate GCF of 62,31
31 | 62, 31 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Lets's calculate LCM of 436,1063
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 463468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/463468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/436,31/1063 is 31/463468
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 436,1063 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,1063) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,1063) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(436,1063) = ( 436 × 1063 ) / 1
LCM(436,1063) = 463468 / 1
LCM(436,1063) = 463468
