Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 74/296,198/947
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 74,198
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 74,198 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 296,947 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 296,947 is 280312 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,198
2 | 74, 198 |
37, 99 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 198
List of positive integer factors of 198 that divides 198 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,198 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,198 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 296,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/280312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/296,198/947 is 2/280312
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 296,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(296,947) = ( 296 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(296,947) = 280312 / 1
LCM(296,947) = 280312
