Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 66/257,836/431
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 66,836
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 66,836 is 22 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 257,431 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 257,431 is 110767 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 66,836
2 | 66, 836 |
11 | 33, 418 |
3, 38 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 11 = 22
Factors of 66
List of positive integer factors of 66 that divides 66 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66
Factors of 836
List of positive integer factors of 836 that divides 836 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,19,22,38,44,76,209,418,836
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 66,836 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 66,836 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 110767
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/110767
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/257,836/431 is 22/110767
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 257,431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,431) = ( 257 × 431 ) / 1
LCM(257,431) = 110767 / 1
LCM(257,431) = 110767
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
