Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 81/238,379/254
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 81,379
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 81,379 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 238,254 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 238,254 is 30226 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 81,379
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 81
List of positive integer factors of 81 that divides 81 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81
Factors of 379
List of positive integer factors of 379 that divides 379 without a remainder.
1,379
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,379 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,379 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,254
2 | 238, 254 |
119, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 127 = 30226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/238,379/254 is 1/30226
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 238,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,254) = ( 238 × 254 ) / 2
LCM(238,254) = 60452 / 2
LCM(238,254) = 30226
