Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 498/520,1061/6240
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 498,1061
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 498,1061 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 520,6240 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 520,6240 is 6240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 498,1061
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 498
List of positive integer factors of 498 that divides 498 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,83,166,249,498
Factors of 1061
List of positive integer factors of 1061 that divides 1061 without a remainder.
1,1061
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 498,1061 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 498,1061 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,6240
2 | 520, 6240 |
2 | 260, 3120 |
2 | 130, 1560 |
5 | 65, 780 |
13 | 13, 156 |
1, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 1 x 12 = 6240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 498/520,1061/6240 is 1/6240
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 520,6240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,6240) = 520
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,6240) x common factors =520 x 1 = 520
LCM(520,6240) = ( 520 × 6240 ) / 520
LCM(520,6240) = 3244800 / 520
LCM(520,6240) = 6240
