Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/29,740/207
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 185,740
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,740 is 185 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,207 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,207 is 6003 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,740
5 | 185, 740 |
37 | 37, 148 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 37 = 185
Factors of 185
List of positive integer factors of 185 that divides 185 without a remainder.
1,5,37,185
Factors of 740
List of positive integer factors of 740 that divides 740 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,740 is 185.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,207
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6003
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 185/6003
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/29,740/207 is 185/6003
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 29,207 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,207) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,207) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,207) = ( 29 × 207 ) / 1
LCM(29,207) = 6003 / 1
LCM(29,207) = 6003
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
