Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 389/60,3704/235
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 389,3704
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 389,3704 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,235 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,235 is 2820 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 389,3704
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 389

1,389
Factors of 3704
List of positive integer factors of 3704 that divides 3704 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,463,926,1852,3704
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 389,3704 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 389,3704 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,235
5 | 60, 235 |
12, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 12 x 47 = 2820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 389/60,3704/235 is 1/2820
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 60,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,235) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,235) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(60,235) = ( 60 × 235 ) / 5
LCM(60,235) = 14100 / 5
LCM(60,235) = 2820
