Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 261/429,2558/8165
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 261,2558
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 261,2558 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 429,8165 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 429,8165 is 3502785 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 261,2558
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Factors of 2558
List of positive integer factors of 2558 that divides 2558 without a remainder.
1,2,1279,2558
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 261,2558 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 261,2558 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,8165
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3502785
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3502785
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 261/429,2558/8165 is 1/3502785
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 429,8165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,8165) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,8165) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,8165) = ( 429 × 8165 ) / 1
LCM(429,8165) = 3502785 / 1
LCM(429,8165) = 3502785
