Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 32/386,556/723
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 32,556
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 32,556 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 386,723 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 386,723 is 279078 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 32,556
2 | 32, 556 |
2 | 16, 278 |
8, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Factors of 556
List of positive integer factors of 556 that divides 556 without a remainder.
1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 386,723
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/279078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/386,556/723 is 4/279078
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 386,723 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,723) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,723) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(386,723) = ( 386 × 723 ) / 1
LCM(386,723) = 279078 / 1
LCM(386,723) = 279078
