Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 198/352,539/835
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 198,539
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 198,539 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 352,835 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 352,835 is 293920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 198,539
11 | 198, 539 |
18, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 198
List of positive integer factors of 198 that divides 198 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Factors of 539
List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,539 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,835
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/293920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/352,539/835 is 11/293920
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 352,835 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,835) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,835) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(352,835) = ( 352 × 835 ) / 1
LCM(352,835) = 293920 / 1
LCM(352,835) = 293920
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
