Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/597,57/2729
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 51,57
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,57 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 597,2729 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 597,2729 is 1629213 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,57
3 | 51, 57 |
17, 19 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 51
List of positive integer factors of 51 that divides 51 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51
Factors of 57
List of positive integer factors of 57 that divides 57 without a remainder.
1,3,19,57
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,57 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,57 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 597,2729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1629213
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1629213
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/597,57/2729 is 3/1629213
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 597,2729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,2729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,2729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(597,2729) = ( 597 × 2729 ) / 1
LCM(597,2729) = 1629213 / 1
LCM(597,2729) = 1629213
