Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 22/256,126/227
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 22,126
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 22,126 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 256,227 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 256,227 is 58112 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 22,126
2 | 22, 126 |
11, 63 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 126
List of positive integer factors of 126 that divides 126 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,63,126
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,126 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,126 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/256,126/227 is 2/58112
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 256,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,227) = ( 256 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(256,227) = 58112 / 1
LCM(256,227) = 58112
