Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 259/731,1658/506
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 259,1658
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 259,1658 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 731,506 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 731,506 is 369886 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 259,1658
∴ 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 1658
List of positive integer factors of 1658 that divides 1658 without a remainder.
1,2,829,1658
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 259,1658 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 259,1658 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 369886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/369886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/731,1658/506 is 1/369886
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 731,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,506) = ( 731 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(731,506) = 369886 / 1
LCM(731,506) = 369886
