Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 222/947,537/512
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 222,537
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 222,537 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 947,512 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 947,512 is 484864 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 222,537
3 | 222, 537 |
74, 179 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
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 537
List of positive integer factors of 537 that divides 537 without a remainder.
1,3,179,537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 222,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 222,537 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 947,512
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 484864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/484864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/947,537/512 is 3/484864
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 947,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,512) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,512) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,512) = ( 947 × 512 ) / 1
LCM(947,512) = 484864 / 1
LCM(947,512) = 484864
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
