Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 242/76,601/5102
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 242,601
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 242,601 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 76,5102 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 76,5102 is 193876 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 242,601
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 242
List of positive integer factors of 242 that divides 242 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,121,242
Factors of 601
List of positive integer factors of 601 that divides 601 without a remainder.
1,601
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 242,601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,601 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,5102
2 | 76, 5102 |
38, 2551 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 2551 = 193876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/193876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/76,601/5102 is 1/193876
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 76,5102 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,5102) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,5102) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,5102) = ( 76 × 5102 ) / 2
LCM(76,5102) = 387752 / 2
LCM(76,5102) = 193876
