Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/196,929/553
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 38,929
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,929 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 196,553 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 196,553 is 15484 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,929
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Factors of 929
List of positive integer factors of 929 that divides 929 without a remainder.
1,929
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,929 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,929 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,553
7 | 196, 553 |
28, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 28 x 79 = 15484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/196,929/553 is 1/15484
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 196,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,553) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,553) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(196,553) = ( 196 × 553 ) / 7
LCM(196,553) = 108388 / 7
LCM(196,553) = 15484
