Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 62/252,12/2342
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 62,12
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 62,12 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 252,2342 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 252,2342 is 295092 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 62,12
2 | 62, 12 |
31, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 62
List of positive integer factors of 62 that divides 62 without a remainder.
1,2,31,62
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,12 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,12 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,2342
2 | 252, 2342 |
126, 1171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 126 x 1171 = 295092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/295092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/252,12/2342 is 2/295092
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 252,2342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,2342) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,2342) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(252,2342) = ( 252 × 2342 ) / 2
LCM(252,2342) = 590184 / 2
LCM(252,2342) = 295092
