Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 363/45,407/1238
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 363,407
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 363,407 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,1238 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,1238 is 55710 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 363,407
11 | 363, 407 |
33, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 363
List of positive integer factors of 363 that divides 363 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33,121,363
Factors of 407
List of positive integer factors of 407 that divides 407 without a remainder.
1,11,37,407
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 363,407 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 363,407 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,1238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/55710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 363/45,407/1238 is 11/55710
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 45,1238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,1238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,1238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,1238) = ( 45 × 1238 ) / 1
LCM(45,1238) = 55710 / 1
LCM(45,1238) = 55710
