Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 260/126,520/442
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 260,520
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 260,520 is 260 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 126,442 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 126,442 is 27846 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 260,520
2 | 260, 520 |
2 | 130, 260 |
5 | 65, 130 |
13 | 13, 26 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 = 260
Factors of 260
List of positive integer factors of 260 that divides 260 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Factors of 520
List of positive integer factors of 520 that divides 520 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,13,20,26,40,52,65,104,130,260,520
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 260,520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 260,520 is 260.
Lets's calculate LCM of 126,442
2 | 126, 442 |
63, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 63 x 221 = 27846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 260/27846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/126,520/442 is 260/27846
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 126,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(126,442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(126,442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(126,442) = ( 126 × 442 ) / 2
LCM(126,442) = 55692 / 2
LCM(126,442) = 27846
