Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 76/467,722/408
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 76,722
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 76,722 is 38 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 467,408 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 467,408 is 190536 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 76,722
2 | 76, 722 |
19 | 38, 361 |
2, 19 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Factors of 76
List of positive integer factors of 76 that divides 76 without a remainder.
1,2,4,19,38,76
Factors of 722
List of positive integer factors of 722 that divides 722 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38,361,722
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,722 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 467,408
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 190536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/190536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/467,722/408 is 38/190536
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 467,408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(467,408) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(467,408) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(467,408) = ( 467 × 408 ) / 1
LCM(467,408) = 190536 / 1
LCM(467,408) = 190536
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
