Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 509/662,161/551
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 509,161
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 509,161 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 662,551 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 662,551 is 364762 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 509,161
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 509
List of positive integer factors of 509 that divides 509 without a remainder.
1,509
Factors of 161
List of positive integer factors of 161 that divides 161 without a remainder.
1,7,23,161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 509,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 509,161 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 662,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 364762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/364762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 509/662,161/551 is 1/364762
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 662,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(662,551) = ( 662 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(662,551) = 364762 / 1
LCM(662,551) = 364762
