Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 296/472,121/109
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 296,121
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 296,121 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 472,109 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 472,109 is 51448 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 296,121
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 296
List of positive integer factors of 296 that divides 296 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,37,74,148,296
Factors of 121
List of positive integer factors of 121 that divides 121 without a remainder.
1,11,121
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 296,121 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 296,121 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,109
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/472,121/109 is 1/51448
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 472,109 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,109) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,109) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,109) = ( 472 × 109 ) / 1
LCM(472,109) = 51448 / 1
LCM(472,109) = 51448
