Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 77/251,749/532
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 77,749
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 77,749 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 251,532 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 251,532 is 133532 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 77,749
7 | 77, 749 |
11, 107 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 77
List of positive integer factors of 77 that divides 77 without a remainder.
1,7,11,77
Factors of 749
List of positive integer factors of 749 that divides 749 without a remainder.
1,7,107,749
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 77,749 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 77,749 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/133532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/251,749/532 is 7/133532
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 251,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,532) = ( 251 × 532 ) / 1
LCM(251,532) = 133532 / 1
LCM(251,532) = 133532
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
