Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 470/196,695/611
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 470,695
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 470,695 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 196,611 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 196,611 is 119756 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 470,695
5 | 470, 695 |
94, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 470
List of positive integer factors of 470 that divides 470 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,47,94,235,470
Factors of 695
List of positive integer factors of 695 that divides 695 without a remainder.
1,5,139,695
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 470,695 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 470,695 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,611
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/119756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/196,695/611 is 5/119756
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 196,611 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,611) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,611) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(196,611) = ( 196 × 611 ) / 1
LCM(196,611) = 119756 / 1
LCM(196,611) = 119756
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
