Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 49/737,22/440
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 49/737,22/440, numerators are 49,22
Denominators are 737,440
The GCF of 49,22 is 1 .
LCM of 737,440 is 29480.
The greatest common factor of 49/737,22/440 = [GCF of 49,22]/[LCM of 737,440]= 1/29480
Therefore, the GCF of 49/737,22/440 is 1/29480.
To find the highest common factor of 49,22, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 49 are 1, 7, 49
The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, 22
The HCF of 49,22 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 49,22
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,440
11 | 737, 440 |
67, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 67 x 40 = 29480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/737,22/440 is 1/29480
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 737,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,440) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,440) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(737,440) = ( 737 × 440 ) / 11
LCM(737,440) = 324280 / 11
LCM(737,440) = 29480
