Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/688,590/489
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 45,590
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,590 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 688,489 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 688,489 is 336432 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,590
5 | 45, 590 |
9, 118 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 590
List of positive integer factors of 590 that divides 590 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,59,118,295,590
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,590 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,590 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 688,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/336432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/688,590/489 is 5/336432
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 688,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(688,489) = ( 688 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(688,489) = 336432 / 1
LCM(688,489) = 336432
