Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 148/81,222/895
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 148,222
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 148,222 is 74 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,895 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,895 is 72495 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 148,222
2 | 148, 222 |
37 | 74, 111 |
2, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 37 = 74
Factors of 148
List of positive integer factors of 148 that divides 148 without a remainder.
1,2,4,37,74,148
Factors of 222
List of positive integer factors of 222 that divides 222 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 148,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 148,222 is 74.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,895
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 74/72495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/81,222/895 is 74/72495
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 81,895 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,895) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,895) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,895) = ( 81 × 895 ) / 1
LCM(81,895) = 72495 / 1
LCM(81,895) = 72495
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
