Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/738,155/711
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 60,155
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,155 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 738,711 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 738,711 is 58302 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,155
5 | 60, 155 |
12, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
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 155
List of positive integer factors of 155 that divides 155 without a remainder.
1,5,31,155
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,155 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,155 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,711
3 | 738, 711 |
3 | 246, 237 |
82, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 82 x 79 = 58302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/58302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/738,155/711 is 5/58302
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 738,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,711) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,711) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(738,711) = ( 738 × 711 ) / 9
LCM(738,711) = 524718 / 9
LCM(738,711) = 58302
