Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 42/332,406/751
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 42,406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 42,406 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 332,751 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 332,751 is 249332 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 42,406
2 | 42, 406 |
7 | 21, 203 |
3, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Factors of 406
List of positive integer factors of 406 that divides 406 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,406 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 332,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 249332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/249332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/332,406/751 is 14/249332
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 332,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(332,751) = ( 332 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(332,751) = 249332 / 1
LCM(332,751) = 249332
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
