Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 34/978,844/307
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 34,844
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 34,844 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 978,307 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 978,307 is 300246 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 34,844
2 | 34, 844 |
17, 422 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 844
List of positive integer factors of 844 that divides 844 without a remainder.
1,2,4,211,422,844
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,844 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,307
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 300246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/300246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/978,844/307 is 2/300246
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 978,307 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,307) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,307) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,307) = ( 978 × 307 ) / 1
LCM(978,307) = 300246 / 1
LCM(978,307) = 300246
