Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 76/473,130/294
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 76,130
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 76,130 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 473,294 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 473,294 is 139062 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 76,130
2 | 76, 130 |
38, 65 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 76
List of positive integer factors of 76 that divides 76 without a remainder.
1,2,4,19,38,76
Factors of 130
List of positive integer factors of 130 that divides 130 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,130 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,130 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,294
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/139062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/473,130/294 is 2/139062
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 473,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,294) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,294) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,294) = ( 473 × 294 ) / 1
LCM(473,294) = 139062 / 1
LCM(473,294) = 139062
