Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/146,994/379
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 40,994
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,994 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 146,379 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 146,379 is 55334 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,994
2 | 40, 994 |
20, 497 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 994
List of positive integer factors of 994 that divides 994 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/55334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/146,994/379 is 2/55334
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 146,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(146,379) = ( 146 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(146,379) = 55334 / 1
LCM(146,379) = 55334
