Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 44/276,198/979
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 44,198
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 44,198 is 22 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 276,979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 276,979 is 270204 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 44,198
2 | 44, 198 |
11 | 22, 99 |
2, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 11 = 22
Factors of 44
List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 198
List of positive integer factors of 198 that divides 198 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,198 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,198 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 276,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 270204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/270204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/276,198/979 is 22/270204
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 276,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(276,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(276,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(276,979) = ( 276 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(276,979) = 270204 / 1
LCM(276,979) = 270204
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
