Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 69/261,72/9655
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 69,72
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 69,72 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 261,9655 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 261,9655 is 2519955 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 69,72
3 | 69, 72 |
23, 24 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 69
List of positive integer factors of 69 that divides 69 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69
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 69,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 69,72 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 261,9655
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2519955
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2519955
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 69/261,72/9655 is 3/2519955
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 261,9655 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,9655) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,9655) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(261,9655) = ( 261 × 9655 ) / 1
LCM(261,9655) = 2519955 / 1
LCM(261,9655) = 2519955
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
