Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 458/72,3286/397
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 458,3286
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 458,3286 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,397 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,397 is 28584 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 458,3286
2 | 458, 3286 |
229, 1643 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 458
List of positive integer factors of 458 that divides 458 without a remainder.
1,2,229,458
Factors of 3286
List of positive integer factors of 3286 that divides 3286 without a remainder.
1,2,31,53,62,106,1643,3286
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 458,3286 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 458,3286 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/72,3286/397 is 2/28584
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 72,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,397) = ( 72 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(72,397) = 28584 / 1
LCM(72,397) = 28584
