Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 41/774,246/721
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 41,246
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 41,246 is 41 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 774,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 774,721 is 558054 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 41,246
41 | 41, 246 |
1, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41
Factors of 41
List of positive integer factors of 41 that divides 41 without a remainder.
1,41
Factors of 246
List of positive integer factors of 246 that divides 246 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 41,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 41,246 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 774,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 558054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/558054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/774,246/721 is 41/558054
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 774,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(774,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(774,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(774,721) = ( 774 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(774,721) = 558054 / 1
LCM(774,721) = 558054
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
