Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 517/949,275/252
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 517,275
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 517,275 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 949,252 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 949,252 is 239148 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 517,275
11 | 517, 275 |
47, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 517
List of positive integer factors of 517 that divides 517 without a remainder.
1,11,47,517
Factors of 275
List of positive integer factors of 275 that divides 275 without a remainder.
1,5,11,25,55,275
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 517,275 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,275 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 949,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/239148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/949,275/252 is 11/239148
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 949,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,252) = ( 949 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(949,252) = 239148 / 1
LCM(949,252) = 239148
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
