Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/362,29/724
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 17/362,29/724, numerators are 17,29
Denominators are 362,724
The GCF of 17,29 is 1 .
LCM of 362,724 is 724.
The greatest common factor of 17/362,29/724 = [GCF of 17,29]/[LCM of 362,724]= 1/724
Therefore, the GCF of 17/362,29/724 is 1/724.
To find the highest common factor of 17,29, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The factors of 29 are 1, 29
The HCF of 17,29 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,29
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,724
2 | 362, 724 |
181 | 181, 362 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 1 x 2 = 724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/362,29/724 is 1/724
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 362,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,724) = 362
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,724) x common factors =362 x 1 = 362
LCM(362,724) = ( 362 × 724 ) / 362
LCM(362,724) = 262088 / 362
LCM(362,724) = 724
