Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 62/551,162/436
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 62,162
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 62,162 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 551,436 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 551,436 is 240236 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 62,162
2 | 62, 162 |
31, 81 |
∴ 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 162
List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/551,162/436 is 2/240236
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 551,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,436) = ( 551 × 436 ) / 1
LCM(551,436) = 240236 / 1
LCM(551,436) = 240236
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
