Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 391/202,806/398
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 391,806
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 391,806 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 202,398 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 202,398 is 40198 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 391,806
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 391
List of positive integer factors of 391 that divides 391 without a remainder.
1,17,23,391
Factors of 806
List of positive integer factors of 806 that divides 806 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26,31,62,403,806
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,806 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,806 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 202,398
2 | 202, 398 |
101, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 101 x 199 = 40198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/202,806/398 is 1/40198
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 202,398 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(202,398) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(202,398) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(202,398) = ( 202 × 398 ) / 2
LCM(202,398) = 80396 / 2
LCM(202,398) = 40198
