Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 454/37,202/3979
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 454,202
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 454,202 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,3979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,3979 is 147223 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 454,202
2 | 454, 202 |
227, 101 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 454
List of positive integer factors of 454 that divides 454 without a remainder.
1,2,227,454
Factors of 202
List of positive integer factors of 202 that divides 202 without a remainder.
1,2,101,202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 454,202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 454,202 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,3979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147223
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/147223
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 454/37,202/3979 is 2/147223
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 37,3979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,3979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,3979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,3979) = ( 37 × 3979 ) / 1
LCM(37,3979) = 147223 / 1
LCM(37,3979) = 147223
