Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 95/480,741/504
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 95,741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 95,741 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 480,504 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 480,504 is 10080 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 95,741
19 | 95, 741 |
5, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Factors of 95
List of positive integer factors of 95 that divides 95 without a remainder.
1,5,19,95
Factors of 741
List of positive integer factors of 741 that divides 741 without a remainder.
1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 95,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 95,741 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 480,504
2 | 480, 504 |
2 | 240, 252 |
2 | 120, 126 |
3 | 60, 63 |
20, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 20 x 21 = 10080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/10080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 95/480,741/504 is 19/10080
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 480,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,504) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,504) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(480,504) = ( 480 × 504 ) / 24
LCM(480,504) = 241920 / 24
LCM(480,504) = 10080
