Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 35/847,77/281
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 35,77
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 35,77 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 847,281 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 847,281 is 238007 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 35,77
7 | 35, 77 |
5, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 35
List of positive integer factors of 35 that divides 35 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35
Factors of 77
List of positive integer factors of 77 that divides 77 without a remainder.
1,7,11,77
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,77 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,77 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238007
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/238007
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/847,77/281 is 7/238007
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 847,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,281) = ( 847 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(847,281) = 238007 / 1
LCM(847,281) = 238007
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
