Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 196/70,3134/223
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 196,3134
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 196,3134 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,223 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,223 is 15610 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 196,3134
2 | 196, 3134 |
98, 1567 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 196
List of positive integer factors of 196 that divides 196 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Factors of 3134
List of positive integer factors of 3134 that divides 3134 without a remainder.
1,2,1567,3134
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,3134 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,3134 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/70,3134/223 is 2/15610
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 70,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,223) = ( 70 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(70,223) = 15610 / 1
LCM(70,223) = 15610
