Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 254/41,700/135
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 254,700
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 254,700 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,135 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,135 is 5535 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 254,700
2 | 254, 700 |
127, 350 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 254
List of positive integer factors of 254 that divides 254 without a remainder.
1,2,127,254
Factors of 700
List of positive integer factors of 700 that divides 700 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,25,28,35,50,70,100,140,175,350,700
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,700 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,700 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,135
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5535
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5535
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/41,700/135 is 2/5535
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 41,135 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,135) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,135) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,135) = ( 41 × 135 ) / 1
LCM(41,135) = 5535 / 1
LCM(41,135) = 5535
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
