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 124,7346
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 124,7346 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 338,697 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 338,697 is 235586 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 124,7346
2 | 124, 7346 |
62, 3673 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 124
List of positive integer factors of 124 that divides 124 without a remainder.
1,2,4,31,62,124
Factors of 7346
List of positive integer factors of 7346 that divides 7346 without a remainder.
1,2,3673,7346
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 124,7346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 124,7346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,697
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 235586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/235586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/338,7346/697 is 2/235586
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 338,697 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,697) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,697) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,697) = ( 338 × 697 ) / 1
LCM(338,697) = 235586 / 1
LCM(338,697) = 235586
