Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1594/387,6662/356
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 1594,6662
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1594,6662 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 387,356 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 387,356 is 137772 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1594,6662
2 | 1594, 6662 |
797, 3331 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 1594
List of positive integer factors of 1594 that divides 1594 without a remainder.
1,2,797,1594
Factors of 6662
List of positive integer factors of 6662 that divides 6662 without a remainder.
1,2,3331,6662
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1594,6662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1594,6662 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 387,356
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/137772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1594/387,6662/356 is 2/137772
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 387,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,356) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,356) = ( 387 × 356 ) / 1
LCM(387,356) = 137772 / 1
LCM(387,356) = 137772
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
