Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3238/89,2614/229
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 3238,2614
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3238,2614 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 89,229 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 89,229 is 20381 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3238,2614
2 | 3238, 2614 |
1619, 1307 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 3238
List of positive integer factors of 3238 that divides 3238 without a remainder.
1,2,1619,3238
Factors of 2614
List of positive integer factors of 2614 that divides 2614 without a remainder.
1,2,1307,2614
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3238,2614 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3238,2614 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20381
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20381
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3238/89,2614/229 is 2/20381
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 89,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,229) = ( 89 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(89,229) = 20381 / 1
LCM(89,229) = 20381
