Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 222/40,554/3415
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 222,554
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 222,554 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,3415 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,3415 is 27320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 222,554
2 | 222, 554 |
111, 277 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 222
List of positive integer factors of 222 that divides 222 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Factors of 554
List of positive integer factors of 554 that divides 554 without a remainder.
1,2,277,554
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 222,554 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 222,554 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,3415
5 | 40, 3415 |
8, 683 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 8 x 683 = 27320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/40,554/3415 is 2/27320
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 40,3415 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,3415) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,3415) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(40,3415) = ( 40 × 3415 ) / 5
LCM(40,3415) = 136600 / 5
LCM(40,3415) = 27320
