Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 474/11,3950/167
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 474,3950
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 474,3950 is 158 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,167 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,167 is 1837 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 474,3950
2 | 474, 3950 |
79 | 237, 1975 |
3, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 79 = 158

1,2,5,10,25,50,79,158,395,790,1975,3950
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 474,3950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 474,3950 is 158.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1837
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 158/1837
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/11,3950/167 is 158/1837
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 11,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,167) = ( 11 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(11,167) = 1837 / 1
LCM(11,167) = 1837
