Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 146/293,220/917
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 146,220
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 146,220 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 293,917 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 293,917 is 268681 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 146,220
2 | 146, 220 |
73, 110 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 146
List of positive integer factors of 146 that divides 146 without a remainder.
1,2,73,146
Factors of 220
List of positive integer factors of 220 that divides 220 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,220 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268681
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/268681
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/293,220/917 is 2/268681
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 293,917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,917) = ( 293 × 917 ) / 1
LCM(293,917) = 268681 / 1
LCM(293,917) = 268681
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
