Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 56/368,722/638
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 56,722
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 56,722 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 368,638 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 368,638 is 117392 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 56,722
2 | 56, 722 |
28, 361 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 56
List of positive integer factors of 56 that divides 56 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Factors of 722
List of positive integer factors of 722 that divides 722 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38,361,722
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,722 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 368,638
2 | 368, 638 |
184, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 184 x 319 = 117392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/117392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/368,722/638 is 2/117392
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 368,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(368,638) = ( 368 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(368,638) = 234784 / 2
LCM(368,638) = 117392
