Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 142/83,656/454
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 142,656
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 142,656 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 83,454 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 83,454 is 37682 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 142,656
2 | 142, 656 |
71, 328 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 142
List of positive integer factors of 142 that divides 142 without a remainder.
1,2,71,142
Factors of 656
List of positive integer factors of 656 that divides 656 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 142,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 142,656 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,454
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 142/83,656/454 is 2/37682
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 83,454 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,454) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,454) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,454) = ( 83 × 454 ) / 1
LCM(83,454) = 37682 / 1
LCM(83,454) = 37682
