Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 24/172,42/5513
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 24,42
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 24,42 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 172,5513 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 172,5513 is 948236 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 24,42
2 | 24, 42 |
3 | 12, 21 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Factors of 24
List of positive integer factors of 24 that divides 24 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,42 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,5513
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 948236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/948236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/172,42/5513 is 6/948236
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 172,5513 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,5513) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,5513) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,5513) = ( 172 × 5513 ) / 1
LCM(172,5513) = 948236 / 1
LCM(172,5513) = 948236
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
