Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 20/603,56/2743
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 20,56
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 20,56 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 603,2743 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 603,2743 is 1654029 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 20,56
2 | 20, 56 |
2 | 10, 28 |
5, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 20
List of positive integer factors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20
Factors of 56
List of positive integer factors of 56 that divides 56 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,56 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,56 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,2743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1654029
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1654029
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/603,56/2743 is 4/1654029
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 603,2743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,2743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,2743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,2743) = ( 603 × 2743 ) / 1
LCM(603,2743) = 1654029 / 1
LCM(603,2743) = 1654029
