Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 50/218,8357/3729
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 50,8357
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 50,8357 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 218,3729 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 218,3729 is 812922 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 50,8357
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 50
List of positive integer factors of 50 that divides 50 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50
Factors of 8357
List of positive integer factors of 8357 that divides 8357 without a remainder.
1,61,137,8357
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,8357 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,8357 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,3729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 812922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/812922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/218,8357/3729 is 1/812922
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 218,3729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,3729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,3729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(218,3729) = ( 218 × 3729 ) / 1
LCM(218,3729) = 812922 / 1
LCM(218,3729) = 812922
