Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 219/979,732/491
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 219,732
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 219,732 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 979,491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 979,491 is 480689 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 219,732
3 | 219, 732 |
73, 244 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 219
List of positive integer factors of 219 that divides 219 without a remainder.
1,3,73,219
Factors of 732
List of positive integer factors of 732 that divides 732 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,61,122,183,244,366,732
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 219,732 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 219,732 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 480689
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/480689
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 219/979,732/491 is 3/480689
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 979,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,491) = ( 979 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(979,491) = 480689 / 1
LCM(979,491) = 480689
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
