Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 12/426,826/994
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 12,826
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 12,826 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 426,994 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 426,994 is 2982 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,826
2 | 12, 826 |
6, 413 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 826
List of positive integer factors of 826 that divides 826 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,59,118,413,826
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,826 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,826 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 426,994
2 | 426, 994 |
71 | 213, 497 |
3, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 3 x 7 = 2982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/426,826/994 is 2/2982
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 426,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(426,994) = 142
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(426,994) x common factors =142 x 1 = 142
LCM(426,994) = ( 426 × 994 ) / 142
LCM(426,994) = 423444 / 142
LCM(426,994) = 2982
