Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/293,272/278
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 60,272
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,272 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 293,278 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 293,278 is 81454 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,272
2 | 60, 272 |
2 | 30, 136 |
15, 68 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 60
List of positive integer factors of 60 that divides 60 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 272
List of positive integer factors of 272 that divides 272 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,272 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/81454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/293,272/278 is 4/81454
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 293,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,278) = ( 293 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(293,278) = 81454 / 1
LCM(293,278) = 81454
