Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 50/167,794/904
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 50,794
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 50,794 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 167,904 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 167,904 is 150968 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 50,794
2 | 50, 794 |
25, 397 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 50
List of positive integer factors of 50 that divides 50 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50
Factors of 794
List of positive integer factors of 794 that divides 794 without a remainder.
1,2,397,794
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,794 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,794 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 167,904
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 150968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/150968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/167,794/904 is 2/150968
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 167,904 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,904) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,904) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,904) = ( 167 × 904 ) / 1
LCM(167,904) = 150968 / 1
LCM(167,904) = 150968
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
