Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 452/70,340/281
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 452,340
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 452,340 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,281 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,281 is 19670 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 452,340
2 | 452, 340 |
2 | 226, 170 |
113, 85 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 452
List of positive integer factors of 452 that divides 452 without a remainder.
1,2,4,113,226,452
Factors of 340
List of positive integer factors of 340 that divides 340 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,17,20,34,68,85,170,340
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 452,340 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 452,340 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/19670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 452/70,340/281 is 4/19670
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 70,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,281) = ( 70 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(70,281) = 19670 / 1
LCM(70,281) = 19670
