Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 44/597,440/252
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 44,440
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 44,440 is 44 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 597,252 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 597,252 is 50148 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 44,440
2 | 44, 440 |
2 | 22, 220 |
11 | 11, 110 |
1, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 = 44
Factors of 44
List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 440
List of positive integer factors of 440 that divides 440 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,11,20,22,40,44,55,88,110,220,440
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,440 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,440 is 44.
Lets's calculate LCM of 597,252
3 | 597, 252 |
199, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 199 x 84 = 50148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 44/50148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/597,440/252 is 44/50148
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 597,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,252) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,252) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(597,252) = ( 597 × 252 ) / 3
LCM(597,252) = 150444 / 3
LCM(597,252) = 50148
