Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 32/739,157/948
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 32,157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 32,157 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 739,948 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 739,948 is 700572 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 32,157
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Factors of 157
List of positive integer factors of 157 that divides 157 without a remainder.
1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 32,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 32,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 739,948
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 700572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/700572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/739,157/948 is 1/700572
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 739,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(739,948) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(739,948) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(739,948) = ( 739 × 948 ) / 1
LCM(739,948) = 700572 / 1
LCM(739,948) = 700572
