Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 57/458,42/2092
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 57,42
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 57,42 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 458,2092 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 458,2092 is 479068 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 57,42
3 | 57, 42 |
19, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 57
List of positive integer factors of 57 that divides 57 without a remainder.
1,3,19,57
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 57,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 57,42 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,2092
2 | 458, 2092 |
229, 1046 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 1046 = 479068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/479068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/458,42/2092 is 3/479068
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 458,2092 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,2092) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,2092) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(458,2092) = ( 458 × 2092 ) / 2
LCM(458,2092) = 958136 / 2
LCM(458,2092) = 479068
