Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 78/313,18/4034
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 78,18
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 78,18 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 313,4034 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 313,4034 is 1262642 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 78,18
2 | 78, 18 |
3 | 39, 9 |
13, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Factors of 78
List of positive integer factors of 78 that divides 78 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,13,26,39,78
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,18 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,18 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 313,4034
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1262642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1262642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/313,18/4034 is 6/1262642
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 313,4034 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(313,4034) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(313,4034) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(313,4034) = ( 313 × 4034 ) / 1
LCM(313,4034) = 1262642 / 1
LCM(313,4034) = 1262642
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
