Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 62/508,72/1101
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 62,72
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 62,72 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 508,1101 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 508,1101 is 559308 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 62,72
2 | 62, 72 |
31, 36 |
∴ 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 72
List of positive integer factors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,72 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,1101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 559308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/559308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/508,72/1101 is 2/559308
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 508,1101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,1101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,1101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(508,1101) = ( 508 × 1101 ) / 1
LCM(508,1101) = 559308 / 1
LCM(508,1101) = 559308
