Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 50/842,750/731
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 50,750
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 50,750 is 50 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 842,731 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 842,731 is 615502 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 50,750
2 | 50, 750 |
5 | 25, 375 |
5 | 5, 75 |
1, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 = 50
Factors of 50
List of positive integer factors of 50 that divides 50 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50
Factors of 750
List of positive integer factors of 750 that divides 750 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,125,150,250,375,750
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,750 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,750 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 842,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 615502
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/615502
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/842,750/731 is 50/615502
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 842,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,731) = ( 842 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(842,731) = 615502 / 1
LCM(842,731) = 615502
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
