Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 519/58,489/159
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 519,489
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 519,489 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,159 is 9222 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 519,489
3 | 519, 489 |
173, 163 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 519
List of positive integer factors of 519 that divides 519 without a remainder.
1,3,173,519
Factors of 489
List of positive integer factors of 489 that divides 489 without a remainder.
1,3,163,489
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 519,489 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 519,489 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9222
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9222
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 519/58,489/159 is 3/9222
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 58,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(58,159) = ( 58 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(58,159) = 9222 / 1
LCM(58,159) = 9222
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
