Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/837,36/3626
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 18,36
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,36 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 837,3626 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 837,3626 is 3034962 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,36
2 | 18, 36 |
3 | 9, 18 |
3 | 3, 6 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 36
List of positive integer factors of 36 that divides 36 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,36 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 837,3626
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3034962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/3034962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/837,36/3626 is 18/3034962
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 837,3626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,3626) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,3626) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,3626) = ( 837 × 3626 ) / 1
LCM(837,3626) = 3034962 / 1
LCM(837,3626) = 3034962
