Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/406,266/731
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 37,266
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,266 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 406,731 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 406,731 is 296786 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,266
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Factors of 266
List of positive integer factors of 266 that divides 266 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,266 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/296786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/406,266/731 is 1/296786
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 406,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(406,731) = ( 406 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(406,731) = 296786 / 1
LCM(406,731) = 296786
