Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 329/72,509/1125
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 329,509
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 329,509 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,1125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,1125 is 9000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 329,509
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 329
List of positive integer factors of 329 that divides 329 without a remainder.
1,7,47,329
Factors of 509
List of positive integer factors of 509 that divides 509 without a remainder.
1,509
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 329,509 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 329,509 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,1125
3 | 72, 1125 |
3 | 24, 375 |
8, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 8 x 125 = 9000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 329/72,509/1125 is 1/9000
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 72,1125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,1125) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,1125) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(72,1125) = ( 72 × 1125 ) / 9
LCM(72,1125) = 81000 / 9
LCM(72,1125) = 9000
