Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 144/55,754/886
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 144,754
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 144,754 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,886 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,886 is 48730 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 144,754
2 | 144, 754 |
72, 377 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 144
List of positive integer factors of 144 that divides 144 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Factors of 754
List of positive integer factors of 754 that divides 754 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26,29,58,377,754
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 144,754 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 144,754 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,886
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/48730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/55,754/886 is 2/48730
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 55,886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,886) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,886) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,886) = ( 55 × 886 ) / 1
LCM(55,886) = 48730 / 1
LCM(55,886) = 48730
