Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 77/474,23/1609
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 77/474,23/1609, numerators are 77,23
Denominators are 474,1609
The GCF of 77,23 is 1 .
LCM of 474,1609 is 762666.
The greatest common factor of 77/474,23/1609 = [GCF of 77,23]/[LCM of 474,1609]= 1/762666
Therefore, the GCF of 77/474,23/1609 is 1/762666.
To find the highest common factor of 77,23, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 77 are 1, 7, 11, 77
The factors of 23 are 1, 23
The HCF of 77,23 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 77,23
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,1609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 762666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/762666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/474,23/1609 is 1/762666
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 474,1609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,1609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,1609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(474,1609) = ( 474 × 1609 ) / 1
LCM(474,1609) = 762666 / 1
LCM(474,1609) = 762666
