Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 248/75,232/178
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 248,232
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 248,232 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 75,178 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 75,178 is 13350 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 248,232
2 | 248, 232 |
2 | 124, 116 |
2 | 62, 58 |
31, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Factors of 248
List of positive integer factors of 248 that divides 248 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Factors of 232
List of positive integer factors of 232 that divides 232 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,232 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/13350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/75,232/178 is 8/13350
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 75,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(75,178) = ( 75 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(75,178) = 13350 / 1
LCM(75,178) = 13350
