Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/992,497/622
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 40,497
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,497 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 992,622 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 992,622 is 308512 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,497
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
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 497
List of positive integer factors of 497 that divides 497 without a remainder.
1,7,71,497
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,497 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,497 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,622
2 | 992, 622 |
496, 311 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 496 x 311 = 308512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/308512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/992,497/622 is 1/308512
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 992,622 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,622) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,622) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(992,622) = ( 992 × 622 ) / 2
LCM(992,622) = 617024 / 2
LCM(992,622) = 308512
