Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 49/377,98/480
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 49,98
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 49,98 is 49 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 377,480 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 377,480 is 180960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 49,98
7 | 49, 98 |
7 | 7, 14 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 7 = 49
Factors of 49
List of positive integer factors of 49 that divides 49 without a remainder.
1,7,49
Factors of 98
List of positive integer factors of 98 that divides 98 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,49,98
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,98 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,98 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 377,480
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/180960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/377,98/480 is 49/180960
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 377,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(377,480) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(377,480) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(377,480) = ( 377 × 480 ) / 1
LCM(377,480) = 180960 / 1
LCM(377,480) = 180960
