Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 22/640,74/553
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 22,74
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 22,74 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 640,553 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 640,553 is 353920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 22,74
2 | 22, 74 |
11, 37 |
∴ 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 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 640,553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 353920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/353920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/640,74/553 is 2/353920
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 640,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(640,553) = ( 640 × 553 ) / 1
LCM(640,553) = 353920 / 1
LCM(640,553) = 353920
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
