Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/985,222/819
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 15,222
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,222 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 985,819 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 985,819 is 806715 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,222
3 | 15, 222 |
5, 74 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
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 15,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,222 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,819
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 806715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/806715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/985,222/819 is 3/806715
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 985,819 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,819) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,819) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,819) = ( 985 × 819 ) / 1
LCM(985,819) = 806715 / 1
LCM(985,819) = 806715
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
