Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 718/991,606/278
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 718,606
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 718,606 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 991,278 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 991,278 is 275498 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 718,606
2 | 718, 606 |
359, 303 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 718
List of positive integer factors of 718 that divides 718 without a remainder.
1,2,359,718
Factors of 606
List of positive integer factors of 606 that divides 606 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,101,202,303,606
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 718,606 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 718,606 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 275498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/275498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 718/991,606/278 is 2/275498
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 991,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,278) = ( 991 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(991,278) = 275498 / 1
LCM(991,278) = 275498
