Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/358,399/941
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 38,399
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,399 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 358,941 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 358,941 is 336878 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,399
19 | 38, 399 |
2, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Factors of 399
List of positive integer factors of 399 that divides 399 without a remainder.
1,3,7,19,21,57,133,399
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,399 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,399 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 358,941
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/336878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/358,399/941 is 19/336878
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 358,941 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,941) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,941) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(358,941) = ( 358 × 941 ) / 1
LCM(358,941) = 336878 / 1
LCM(358,941) = 336878
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
