Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 55/482,745/384
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 55,745
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 55,745 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 482,384 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 482,384 is 92544 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,745
5 | 55, 745 |
11, 149 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Factors of 745
List of positive integer factors of 745 that divides 745 without a remainder.
1,5,149,745
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,745 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,745 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 482,384
2 | 482, 384 |
241, 192 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 241 x 192 = 92544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/92544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/482,745/384 is 5/92544
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 482,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,384) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,384) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(482,384) = ( 482 × 384 ) / 2
LCM(482,384) = 185088 / 2
LCM(482,384) = 92544
