Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 134/160,602/551
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 134,602
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 134,602 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 160,551 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 160,551 is 88160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 134,602
2 | 134, 602 |
67, 301 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 134
List of positive integer factors of 134 that divides 134 without a remainder.
1,2,67,134
Factors of 602
List of positive integer factors of 602 that divides 602 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,43,86,301,602
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 134,602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 134,602 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/88160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 134/160,602/551 is 2/88160
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 160,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(160,551) = ( 160 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(160,551) = 88160 / 1
LCM(160,551) = 88160
