Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 358/39,142/824
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 358,142
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 358,142 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 39,824 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 39,824 is 32136 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 358,142
2 | 358, 142 |
179, 71 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 358
List of positive integer factors of 358 that divides 358 without a remainder.
1,2,179,358
Factors of 142
List of positive integer factors of 142 that divides 142 without a remainder.
1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 358,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 358,142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,824
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/39,142/824 is 2/32136
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 39,824 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,824) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,824) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(39,824) = ( 39 × 824 ) / 1
LCM(39,824) = 32136 / 1
LCM(39,824) = 32136
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
