Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 501/73,250/954
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 501,250
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 501,250 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,954 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,954 is 69642 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 501,250
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 501
List of positive integer factors of 501 that divides 501 without a remainder.
1,3,167,501
Factors of 250
List of positive integer factors of 250 that divides 250 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 501,250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,250 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,954
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/73,250/954 is 1/69642
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 73,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,954) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,954) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,954) = ( 73 × 954 ) / 1
LCM(73,954) = 69642 / 1
LCM(73,954) = 69642
