Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 995/196,2317/482
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 995,2317
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 995,2317 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 196,482 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 196,482 is 47236 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 995,2317
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 995
List of positive integer factors of 995 that divides 995 without a remainder.
1,5,199,995
Factors of 2317
List of positive integer factors of 2317 that divides 2317 without a remainder.
1,7,331,2317
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 995,2317 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 995,2317 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,482
2 | 196, 482 |
98, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 98 x 241 = 47236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/196,2317/482 is 1/47236
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 196,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(196,482) = ( 196 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(196,482) = 94472 / 2
LCM(196,482) = 47236
