Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 94/588,26/4976
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 94,26
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 94,26 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 588,4976 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 588,4976 is 731472 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 94,26
2 | 94, 26 |
47, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 94
List of positive integer factors of 94 that divides 94 without a remainder.
1,2,47,94
Factors of 26
List of positive integer factors of 26 that divides 26 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 94,26 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 94,26 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,4976
2 | 588, 4976 |
2 | 294, 2488 |
147, 1244 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 147 x 1244 = 731472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/731472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 94/588,26/4976 is 2/731472
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 588,4976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,4976) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,4976) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(588,4976) = ( 588 × 4976 ) / 4
LCM(588,4976) = 2925888 / 4
LCM(588,4976) = 731472
