Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 10/396,722/940
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 10,722
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 10,722 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 396,940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 396,940 is 93060 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 10,722
2 | 10, 722 |
5, 361 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Factors of 722
List of positive integer factors of 722 that divides 722 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38,361,722
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 10,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 10,722 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,940
2 | 396, 940 |
2 | 198, 470 |
99, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 99 x 235 = 93060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/93060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/396,722/940 is 2/93060
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 396,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,940) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,940) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(396,940) = ( 396 × 940 ) / 4
LCM(396,940) = 372240 / 4
LCM(396,940) = 93060
