Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/938,3754/731
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 185,3754
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,3754 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 938,731 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 938,731 is 685678 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,3754
∴ 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 3754
List of positive integer factors of 3754 that divides 3754 without a remainder.
1,2,1877,3754
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,3754 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,3754 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 685678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/685678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/938,3754/731 is 1/685678
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 938,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,731) = ( 938 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(938,731) = 685678 / 1
LCM(938,731) = 685678
