Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 75/498,42/2552
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 75,42
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 75,42 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 498,2552 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 498,2552 is 635448 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 75,42
3 | 75, 42 |
25, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 75
List of positive integer factors of 75 that divides 75 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,25,75
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 75,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 75,42 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,2552
2 | 498, 2552 |
249, 1276 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 249 x 1276 = 635448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/635448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 75/498,42/2552 is 3/635448
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 498,2552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,2552) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,2552) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(498,2552) = ( 498 × 2552 ) / 2
LCM(498,2552) = 1270896 / 2
LCM(498,2552) = 635448
