Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 265/554,958/578
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 265,958
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 265,958 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 554,578 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 554,578 is 160106 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 265,958
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 265
List of positive integer factors of 265 that divides 265 without a remainder.
1,5,53,265
Factors of 958
List of positive integer factors of 958 that divides 958 without a remainder.
1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 265,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 265,958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 554,578
2 | 554, 578 |
277, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 277 x 289 = 160106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 265/554,958/578 is 1/160106
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 554,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(554,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(554,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(554,578) = ( 554 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(554,578) = 320212 / 2
LCM(554,578) = 160106
