Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 764/72,542/457
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 764,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 764,542 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,457 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,457 is 32904 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 764,542
2 | 764, 542 |
382, 271 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 764
List of positive integer factors of 764 that divides 764 without a remainder.
1,2,4,191,382,764
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 764,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 764,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 764/72,542/457 is 2/32904
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 72,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,457) = ( 72 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(72,457) = 32904 / 1
LCM(72,457) = 32904
