Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 14/285,282/774
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 14,282
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 14,282 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 285,774 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 285,774 is 73530 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,282
2 | 14, 282 |
7, 141 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 14
List of positive integer factors of 14 that divides 14 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14
Factors of 282
List of positive integer factors of 282 that divides 282 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,282 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,282 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,774
3 | 285, 774 |
95, 258 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 95 x 258 = 73530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/285,282/774 is 2/73530
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 285,774 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,774) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,774) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(285,774) = ( 285 × 774 ) / 3
LCM(285,774) = 220590 / 3
LCM(285,774) = 73530
