Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 259/68,901/421
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 259,901
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 259,901 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,421 is 28628 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 259,901
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 259
List of positive integer factors of 259 that divides 259 without a remainder.
1,7,37,259
Factors of 901
List of positive integer factors of 901 that divides 901 without a remainder.
1,17,53,901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 259,901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 259,901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/68,901/421 is 1/28628
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 68,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,421) = ( 68 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(68,421) = 28628 / 1
LCM(68,421) = 28628
