Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 773/37,838/1978
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 773,838
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 773,838 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,1978 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,1978 is 73186 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 773,838
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 773
List of positive integer factors of 773 that divides 773 without a remainder.
1,773
Factors of 838
List of positive integer factors of 838 that divides 838 without a remainder.
1,2,419,838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 773,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 773,838 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,1978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 773/37,838/1978 is 1/73186
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 37,1978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,1978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,1978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,1978) = ( 37 × 1978 ) / 1
LCM(37,1978) = 73186 / 1
LCM(37,1978) = 73186
