Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 251/268,863/951
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 251,863
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 251,863 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 268,951 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 268,951 is 254868 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 251,863
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 251
List of positive integer factors of 251 that divides 251 without a remainder.
1,251
Factors of 863
List of positive integer factors of 863 that divides 863 without a remainder.
1,863
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 251,863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 251,863 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,951
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 254868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/254868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/268,863/951 is 1/254868
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 268,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,951) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,951) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(268,951) = ( 268 × 951 ) / 1
LCM(268,951) = 254868 / 1
LCM(268,951) = 254868
