Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
- To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent: divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
The fraction: 76/33
76/33 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 76 = 22 × 19
- 33 = 3 × 11
- GCF (76; 33) = 1
The fraction: 59/30
59/30 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 59 is a prime number.
- 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
- GCF (59; 30) = 1
The fraction: 70/37
70/37 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 70 = 2 × 5 × 7
- 37 is a prime number.
- GCF (70; 37) = 1
The fraction: 63/29
63/29 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 63 = 32 × 7
- 29 is a prime number.
- GCF (63; 29) = 1
The fraction: 67/32
67/32 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 67 is a prime number.
- 32 = 25
- GCF (67; 32) = 1
The fraction: 67/37
67/37 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 67 is a prime number.
- 37 is a prime number.
- GCF (67; 37) = 1
The fraction: 63/34
63/34 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 63 = 32 × 7
- 34 = 2 × 17
- GCF (63; 34) = 1
The fraction: 48/38
- The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
- 48 = 24 × 3
- 38 = 2 × 19
- Multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponent (the lowest powers).
- GCF (48; 38) = 2
48/38 = (48 ÷ 2)/(38 ÷ 2) = 24/19
The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:
48/38 = (24 × 3)/(2 × 19) = ((24 × 3) ÷ 2)/((2 × 19) ÷ 2) = 24/19
Calculate the expanding number of each fraction:
Divide the LCM by the numerator of each fraction.
76/33 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 76 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ (22 × 19) = 2,490,390
59/30 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 59 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ 59 = 3,207,960
70/37 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 70 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ (2 × 5 × 7) = 2,703,852
63/29 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 63 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ (32 × 7) = 3,004,280
67/32 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 67 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ 67 = 2,824,920
67/37 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 67 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ 67 = 2,824,920
63/34 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 63 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ (32 × 7) = 3,004,280
24/19 ⟶ 189,269,640 ÷ 24 = (23 × 32 × 5 × 7 × 19 × 59 × 67) ÷ (23 × 3) = 7,886,235
Make the numerators of the fractions the same:
- Expand each fraction: multiply both its numerator and denominator by its corresponding expanding number, calculated above.
- This way all the fractions will have the same numerator:
76/33 = (2,490,390 × 76)/(2,490,390 × 33) = 189,269,640/82,182,870
59/30 = (3,207,960 × 59)/(3,207,960 × 30) = 189,269,640/96,238,800
70/37 = (2,703,852 × 70)/(2,703,852 × 37) = 189,269,640/100,042,524
63/29 = (3,004,280 × 63)/(3,004,280 × 29) = 189,269,640/87,124,120
67/32 = (2,824,920 × 67)/(2,824,920 × 32) = 189,269,640/90,397,440
67/37 = (2,824,920 × 67)/(2,824,920 × 37) = 189,269,640/104,522,040
63/34 = (3,004,280 × 63)/(3,004,280 × 34) = 189,269,640/102,145,520
24/19 = (7,886,235 × 24)/(7,886,235 × 19) = 189,269,640/149,838,465
