Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2539/22,1079/498
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 2539,1079
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2539,1079 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,498 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,498 is 5478 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2539,1079
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 2539
List of positive integer factors of 2539 that divides 2539 without a remainder.
1,2539
Factors of 1079
List of positive integer factors of 1079 that divides 1079 without a remainder.
1,13,83,1079
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2539,1079 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2539,1079 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,498
2 | 22, 498 |
11, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 249 = 5478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2539/22,1079/498 is 1/5478
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 22,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,498) = ( 22 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(22,498) = 10956 / 2
LCM(22,498) = 5478
