Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 68/305,746/981
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 68,746
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 68,746 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 305,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 305,981 is 299205 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 68,746
2 | 68, 746 |
34, 373 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 68
List of positive integer factors of 68 that divides 68 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,34,68
Factors of 746
List of positive integer factors of 746 that divides 746 without a remainder.
1,2,373,746
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 68,746 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 68,746 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 299205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/299205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/305,746/981 is 2/299205
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 305,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,981) = ( 305 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(305,981) = 299205 / 1
LCM(305,981) = 299205
