Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 28/926,40/391
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 28,40
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 28,40 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 926,391 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 926,391 is 362066 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 28,40
2 | 28, 40 |
2 | 14, 20 |
7, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 28
List of positive integer factors of 28 that divides 28 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,40 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,40 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 926,391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 362066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/362066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/926,40/391 is 4/362066
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 926,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(926,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(926,391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(926,391) = ( 926 × 391 ) / 1
LCM(926,391) = 362066 / 1
LCM(926,391) = 362066
