Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/293,74/5527
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 37,74
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,74 is 37 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 293,5527 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 293,5527 is 1619411 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,74
37 | 37, 74 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,74 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,5527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1619411
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/1619411
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/293,74/5527 is 37/1619411
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 293,5527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,5527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,5527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,5527) = ( 293 × 5527 ) / 1
LCM(293,5527) = 1619411 / 1
LCM(293,5527) = 1619411
