Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 279/59,507/6149
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 279,507
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 279,507 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,6149 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,6149 is 362791 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 279,507
3 | 279, 507 |
93, 169 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 279
List of positive integer factors of 279 that divides 279 without a remainder.
1,3,9,31,93,279
Factors of 507
List of positive integer factors of 507 that divides 507 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,169,507
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,507 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,507 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,6149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 362791
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/362791
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/59,507/6149 is 3/362791
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 59,6149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,6149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,6149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,6149) = ( 59 × 6149 ) / 1
LCM(59,6149) = 362791 / 1
LCM(59,6149) = 362791
