Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 422/82,722/545
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 422,722
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 422,722 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 82,545 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 82,545 is 44690 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 422,722
2 | 422, 722 |
211, 361 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 422
List of positive integer factors of 422 that divides 422 without a remainder.
1,2,211,422
Factors of 722
List of positive integer factors of 722 that divides 722 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38,361,722
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 422,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 422,722 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,545
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44690
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44690
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/82,722/545 is 2/44690
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 82,545 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,545) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,545) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,545) = ( 82 × 545 ) / 1
LCM(82,545) = 44690 / 1
LCM(82,545) = 44690
