Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/336,130/703
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 72,130
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 72,130 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 336,703 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 336,703 is 236208 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,130
2 | 72, 130 |
36, 65 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
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
Factors of 130
List of positive integer factors of 130 that divides 130 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,130 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,130 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 336,703
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/236208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/336,130/703 is 2/236208
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 336,703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,703) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,703) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(336,703) = ( 336 × 703 ) / 1
LCM(336,703) = 236208 / 1
LCM(336,703) = 236208
