Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/808,4011/1968
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 18,4011
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,4011 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 808,1968 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 808,1968 is 198768 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,4011
3 | 18, 4011 |
6, 1337 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 4011
List of positive integer factors of 4011 that divides 4011 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,191,573,1337,4011
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,4011 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,4011 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 808,1968
2 | 808, 1968 |
2 | 404, 984 |
2 | 202, 492 |
101, 246 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 101 x 246 = 198768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/198768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/808,4011/1968 is 3/198768
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 808,1968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(808,1968) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(808,1968) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(808,1968) = ( 808 × 1968 ) / 8
LCM(808,1968) = 1590144 / 8
LCM(808,1968) = 198768
