Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 739/23,472/474
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 739,472
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 739,472 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,474 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,474 is 10902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 739,472
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 739
List of positive integer factors of 739 that divides 739 without a remainder.
1,739
Factors of 472
List of positive integer factors of 472 that divides 472 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 739,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 739,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,474
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 739/23,472/474 is 1/10902
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 23,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,474) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,474) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,474) = ( 23 × 474 ) / 1
LCM(23,474) = 10902 / 1
LCM(23,474) = 10902
