Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 398/64,747/240
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 398,747
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 398,747 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 64,240 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 64,240 is 960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 398,747
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 398
List of positive integer factors of 398 that divides 398 without a remainder.
1,2,199,398
Factors of 747
List of positive integer factors of 747 that divides 747 without a remainder.
1,3,9,83,249,747
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 398,747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 398,747 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,240
2 | 64, 240 |
2 | 32, 120 |
2 | 16, 60 |
2 | 8, 30 |
4, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 15 = 960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/64,747/240 is 1/960
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 64,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,240) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,240) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(64,240) = ( 64 × 240 ) / 16
LCM(64,240) = 15360 / 16
LCM(64,240) = 960
