Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 203/74,418/798
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 203,418
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 203,418 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,798 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,798 is 29526 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 203,418
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 203
List of positive integer factors of 203 that divides 203 without a remainder.
1,7,29,203
Factors of 418
List of positive integer factors of 418 that divides 418 without a remainder.
1,2,11,19,22,38,209,418
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 203,418 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 203,418 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,798
2 | 74, 798 |
37, 399 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 399 = 29526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/74,418/798 is 1/29526
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 74,798 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,798) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,798) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,798) = ( 74 × 798 ) / 2
LCM(74,798) = 59052 / 2
LCM(74,798) = 29526
