Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 73/142,74/848
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 73/142,74/848, numerators are 73,74
Denominators are 142,848
The GCF of 73,74 is 1 .
LCM of 142,848 is 60208.
The greatest common factor of 73/142,74/848 = [GCF of 73,74]/[LCM of 142,848]= 1/60208
Therefore, the GCF of 73/142,74/848 is 1/60208.
To find the highest common factor of 73,74, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 73 are 1, 73
The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, 74
The HCF of 73,74 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 73,74
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,848
2 | 142, 848 |
71, 424 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 424 = 60208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/142,74/848 is 1/60208
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 142,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,848) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,848) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(142,848) = ( 142 × 848 ) / 2
LCM(142,848) = 120416 / 2
LCM(142,848) = 60208
