Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 74/295,809/241
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 74,809
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 74,809 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 295,241 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 295,241 is 71095 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,809
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 809
List of positive integer factors of 809 that divides 809 without a remainder.
1,809
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,809 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,809 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71095
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71095
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/295,809/241 is 1/71095
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 295,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,241) = ( 295 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(295,241) = 71095 / 1
LCM(295,241) = 71095
