Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 818/42,1238/544
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 818,1238
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 818,1238 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,544 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,544 is 11424 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 818,1238
2 | 818, 1238 |
409, 619 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 818
List of positive integer factors of 818 that divides 818 without a remainder.
1,2,409,818
Factors of 1238
List of positive integer factors of 1238 that divides 1238 without a remainder.
1,2,619,1238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 818,1238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 818,1238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,544
2 | 42, 544 |
21, 272 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 272 = 11424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 818/42,1238/544 is 2/11424
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 42,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,544) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,544) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,544) = ( 42 × 544 ) / 2
LCM(42,544) = 22848 / 2
LCM(42,544) = 11424
