Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/531,364/630
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 16,364
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,364 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 531,630 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 531,630 is 37170 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,364
2 | 16, 364 |
2 | 8, 182 |
4, 91 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 364
List of positive integer factors of 364 that divides 364 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,13,14,26,28,52,91,182,364
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,364 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,364 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,630
3 | 531, 630 |
3 | 177, 210 |
59, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 59 x 70 = 37170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/37170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/531,364/630 is 4/37170
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 531,630 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,630) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,630) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(531,630) = ( 531 × 630 ) / 9
LCM(531,630) = 334530 / 9
LCM(531,630) = 37170
