Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 198/40,800/292
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 198,800
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 198,800 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,292 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,292 is 2920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 198,800
2 | 198, 800 |
99, 400 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
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 800
List of positive integer factors of 800 that divides 800 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,800 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,292
2 | 40, 292 |
2 | 20, 146 |
10, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 73 = 2920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/40,800/292 is 2/2920
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 40,292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,292) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,292) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,292) = ( 40 × 292 ) / 4
LCM(40,292) = 11680 / 4
LCM(40,292) = 2920
