Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 295/502,363/724
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 295,363
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 295,363 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 502,724 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 502,724 is 181724 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 295,363
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 295
List of positive integer factors of 295 that divides 295 without a remainder.
1,5,59,295
Factors of 363
List of positive integer factors of 363 that divides 363 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33,121,363
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,363 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,363 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,724
2 | 502, 724 |
251, 362 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 362 = 181724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/502,363/724 is 1/181724
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 502,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,724) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,724) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,724) = ( 502 × 724 ) / 2
LCM(502,724) = 363448 / 2
LCM(502,724) = 181724
