Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 61/740,74/4070
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 61/740,74/4070, numerators are 61,74
Denominators are 740,4070
The GCF of 61,74 is 1 .
LCM of 740,4070 is 8140.
The greatest common factor of 61/740,74/4070 = [GCF of 61,74]/[LCM of 740,4070]= 1/8140
Therefore, the GCF of 61/740,74/4070 is 1/8140.
To find the highest common factor of 61,74, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 61 are 1, 61
The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, 74
The HCF of 61,74 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 61,74
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,4070
| 2 | 740, 4070 |
| 5 | 370, 2035 |
| 37 | 74, 407 |
| 2, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 37 x 2 x 11 = 8140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/740,74/4070 is 1/8140
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 740,4070 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,4070) = 370
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,4070) x common factors =370 x 1 = 370
LCM(740,4070) = ( 740 × 4070 ) / 370
LCM(740,4070) = 3011800 / 370
LCM(740,4070) = 8140
