Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 295/658,359/251
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 295,359
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 295,359 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 658,251 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 658,251 is 165158 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 295,359
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 295
List of positive integer factors of 295 that divides 295 without a remainder.
1,5,59,295
Factors of 359
List of positive integer factors of 359 that divides 359 without a remainder.
1,359
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 658,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/658,359/251 is 1/165158
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 658,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(658,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(658,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(658,251) = ( 658 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(658,251) = 165158 / 1
LCM(658,251) = 165158
