Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 817/40,818/146
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 817,818
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 817,818 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,146 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,146 is 2920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 817,818
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 817
List of positive integer factors of 817 that divides 817 without a remainder.
1,19,43,817
Factors of 818
List of positive integer factors of 818 that divides 818 without a remainder.
1,2,409,818
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 817,818 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 817,818 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,146
2 | 40, 146 |
20, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 73 = 2920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 817/40,818/146 is 1/2920
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 40,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,146) = ( 40 × 146 ) / 2
LCM(40,146) = 5840 / 2
LCM(40,146) = 2920
