Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 482/44,626/990
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 482,626
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 482,626 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,990 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,990 is 1980 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 482,626
2 | 482, 626 |
241, 313 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 482
List of positive integer factors of 482 that divides 482 without a remainder.
1,2,241,482
Factors of 626
List of positive integer factors of 626 that divides 626 without a remainder.
1,2,313,626
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 482,626 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 482,626 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,990
2 | 44, 990 |
11 | 22, 495 |
2, 45 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 2 x 45 = 1980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 482/44,626/990 is 2/1980
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 44,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,990) = 22
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,990) x common factors =22 x 1 = 22
LCM(44,990) = ( 44 × 990 ) / 22
LCM(44,990) = 43560 / 22
LCM(44,990) = 1980
