Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 388/224,776/324
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 388,776
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 388,776 is 388 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 224,324 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 224,324 is 18144 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 388,776
2 | 388, 776 |
2 | 194, 388 |
97 | 97, 194 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 97 = 388
Factors of 388
List of positive integer factors of 388 that divides 388 without a remainder.
1,2,4,97,194,388
Factors of 776
List of positive integer factors of 776 that divides 776 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,97,194,388,776
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 388,776 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 388,776 is 388.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,324
2 | 224, 324 |
2 | 112, 162 |
56, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 56 x 81 = 18144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 388/18144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 388/224,776/324 is 388/18144
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 224,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,324) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,324) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(224,324) = ( 224 × 324 ) / 4
LCM(224,324) = 72576 / 4
LCM(224,324) = 18144
