Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/728,304/217
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 52,304
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,304 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 728,217 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 728,217 is 22568 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,304
2 | 52, 304 |
2 | 26, 152 |
13, 76 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 304
List of positive integer factors of 304 that divides 304 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,19,38,76,152,304
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,304 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,304 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 728,217
7 | 728, 217 |
104, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 104 x 31 = 22568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/22568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/728,304/217 is 4/22568
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 728,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(728,217) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(728,217) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(728,217) = ( 728 × 217 ) / 7
LCM(728,217) = 157976 / 7
LCM(728,217) = 22568
