Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 332/28,136/973
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 332,136
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 332,136 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 28,973 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 28,973 is 3892 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 332,136
2 | 332, 136 |
2 | 166, 68 |
83, 34 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 332
List of positive integer factors of 332 that divides 332 without a remainder.
1,2,4,83,166,332
Factors of 136
List of positive integer factors of 136 that divides 136 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,17,34,68,136
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 332,136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 332,136 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,973
7 | 28, 973 |
4, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 4 x 139 = 3892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 332/28,136/973 is 4/3892
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 28,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,973) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,973) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(28,973) = ( 28 × 973 ) / 7
LCM(28,973) = 27244 / 7
LCM(28,973) = 3892
