Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 95/288,37/716
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 95,37
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 95,37 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 288,716 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 288,716 is 51552 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 95,37
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 95
List of positive integer factors of 95 that divides 95 without a remainder.
1,5,19,95
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 95,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 95,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,716
2 | 288, 716 |
2 | 144, 358 |
72, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 72 x 179 = 51552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 95/288,37/716 is 1/51552
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 288,716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,716) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,716) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(288,716) = ( 288 × 716 ) / 4
LCM(288,716) = 206208 / 4
LCM(288,716) = 51552
