Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 515/991,260/743
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 515,260
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 515,260 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 991,743 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 991,743 is 736313 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 515,260
5 | 515, 260 |
103, 52 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 515
List of positive integer factors of 515 that divides 515 without a remainder.
1,5,103,515
Factors of 260
List of positive integer factors of 260 that divides 260 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 515,260 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 515,260 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 736313
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/736313
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 515/991,260/743 is 5/736313
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 991,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,743) = ( 991 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(991,743) = 736313 / 1
LCM(991,743) = 736313
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
