Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 10/980,25/402
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 10/980,25/402, numerators are 10,25
Denominators are 980,402
The GCF of 10,25 is 5 .
LCM of 980,402 is 196980.
The greatest common factor of 10/980,25/402 = [GCF of 10,25]/[LCM of 980,402]= 5/196980
Therefore, the GCF of 10/980,25/402 is 5/196980.
To find the highest common factor of 10,25, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10
The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25
The HCF of 10,25 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 10,25
5 | 10, 25 |
2, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,402
2 | 980, 402 |
490, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 490 x 201 = 196980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/196980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/980,25/402 is 5/196980
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 980,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(980,402) = ( 980 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(980,402) = 393960 / 2
LCM(980,402) = 196980
