Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/549,716/272
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 38,716
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,716 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 549,272 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 549,272 is 149328 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,716
2 | 38, 716 |
19, 358 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Factors of 716
List of positive integer factors of 716 that divides 716 without a remainder.
1,2,4,179,358,716
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,716 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 549,272
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/549,716/272 is 2/149328
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 549,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,272) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,272) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(549,272) = ( 549 × 272 ) / 1
LCM(549,272) = 149328 / 1
LCM(549,272) = 149328
