Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 291/733,500/440
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 291,500
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 291,500 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 733,440 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 733,440 is 322520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 291,500
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 291
List of positive integer factors of 291 that divides 291 without a remainder.
1,3,97,291
Factors of 500
List of positive integer factors of 500 that divides 500 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 291,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 291,500 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 733,440
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 322520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/322520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 291/733,500/440 is 1/322520
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 733,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(733,440) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(733,440) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(733,440) = ( 733 × 440 ) / 1
LCM(733,440) = 322520 / 1
LCM(733,440) = 322520
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
