Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 283/26,542/518
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 283,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 283,542 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,518 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,518 is 6734 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 283,542
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 283

1,283
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 283,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 283,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,518
2 | 26, 518 |
13, 259 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 259 = 6734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 283/26,542/518 is 1/6734
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 26,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,518) = ( 26 × 518 ) / 2
LCM(26,518) = 13468 / 2
LCM(26,518) = 6734
