Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1238/75,3018/781
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 1238,3018
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1238,3018 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 75,781 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 75,781 is 58575 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1238,3018
2 | 1238, 3018 |
619, 1509 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 1238
List of positive integer factors of 1238 that divides 1238 without a remainder.
1,2,619,1238
Factors of 3018
List of positive integer factors of 3018 that divides 3018 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,503,1006,1509,3018
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1238,3018 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1238,3018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58575
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58575
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1238/75,3018/781 is 2/58575
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 75,781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(75,781) = ( 75 × 781 ) / 1
LCM(75,781) = 58575 / 1
LCM(75,781) = 58575
