Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 502/731,104/281
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 502,104
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 502,104 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 731,281 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 731,281 is 205411 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 502,104
2 | 502, 104 |
251, 52 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 502
List of positive integer factors of 502 that divides 502 without a remainder.
1,2,251,502
Factors of 104
List of positive integer factors of 104 that divides 104 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,13,26,52,104
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,104 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,104 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 205411
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/205411
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/731,104/281 is 2/205411
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 731,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,281) = ( 731 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(731,281) = 205411 / 1
LCM(731,281) = 205411
