Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 32/452,636/491
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 32,636
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 32,636 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 452,491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 452,491 is 221932 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 32,636
2 | 32, 636 |
2 | 16, 318 |
8, 159 |
∴ 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 636
List of positive integer factors of 636 that divides 636 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,53,106,159,212,318,636
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,636 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,636 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/221932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/452,636/491 is 4/221932
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 452,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(452,491) = ( 452 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(452,491) = 221932 / 1
LCM(452,491) = 221932
