Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/66,374/980
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 185,374
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,374 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,980 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,980 is 32340 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,374
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 185
List of positive integer factors of 185 that divides 185 without a remainder.
1,5,37,185
Factors of 374
List of positive integer factors of 374 that divides 374 without a remainder.
1,2,11,17,22,34,187,374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,374 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,980
2 | 66, 980 |
33, 490 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 490 = 32340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/66,374/980 is 1/32340
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 66,980 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,980) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,980) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,980) = ( 66 × 980 ) / 2
LCM(66,980) = 64680 / 2
LCM(66,980) = 32340
