Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 205/23,779/9702
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 205,779
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 205,779 is 41 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,9702 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,9702 is 223146 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 205,779
41 | 205, 779 |
5, 19 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41
Factors of 205
List of positive integer factors of 205 that divides 205 without a remainder.
1,5,41,205
Factors of 779
List of positive integer factors of 779 that divides 779 without a remainder.
1,19,41,779
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 205,779 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 205,779 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,9702
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/223146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 205/23,779/9702 is 41/223146
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 23,9702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,9702) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,9702) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,9702) = ( 23 × 9702 ) / 1
LCM(23,9702) = 223146 / 1
LCM(23,9702) = 223146
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
