Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 334/224,662/549
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 334,662
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 334,662 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 224,549 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 224,549 is 122976 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 334,662
2 | 334, 662 |
167, 331 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 334
List of positive integer factors of 334 that divides 334 without a remainder.
1,2,167,334
Factors of 662
List of positive integer factors of 662 that divides 662 without a remainder.
1,2,331,662
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 334,662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 334,662 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/122976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/224,662/549 is 2/122976
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 224,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,549) = ( 224 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(224,549) = 122976 / 1
LCM(224,549) = 122976
