Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/487,592/426
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 16,592
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,592 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 487,426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 487,426 is 207462 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,592
2 | 16, 592 |
2 | 8, 296 |
2 | 4, 148 |
2 | 2, 74 |
1, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 592
List of positive integer factors of 592 that divides 592 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,37,74,148,296,592
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,592 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,592 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 487,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/207462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/487,592/426 is 16/207462
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 487,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,426) = ( 487 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(487,426) = 207462 / 1
LCM(487,426) = 207462
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
