Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 934/29,538/986
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 934,538
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 934,538 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,986 is 986 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 934,538
2 | 934, 538 |
467, 269 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 934
List of positive integer factors of 934 that divides 934 without a remainder.
1,2,467,934
Factors of 538
List of positive integer factors of 538 that divides 538 without a remainder.
1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 934,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 934,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,986
29 | 29, 986 |
1, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 1 x 34 = 986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 934/29,538/986 is 2/986
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 29,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,986) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,986) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(29,986) = ( 29 × 986 ) / 29
LCM(29,986) = 28594 / 29
LCM(29,986) = 986
