Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/528,266/169
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 38,266
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,266 is 38 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 528,169 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 528,169 is 89232 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,266
2 | 38, 266 |
19 | 19, 133 |
1, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
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 38,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,266 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 528,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/89232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/528,266/169 is 38/89232
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 528,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(528,169) = ( 528 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(528,169) = 89232 / 1
LCM(528,169) = 89232
