Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 526/353,140/996
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 526,140
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 526,140 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 353,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 353,996 is 351588 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 526,140
2 | 526, 140 |
263, 70 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 526
List of positive integer factors of 526 that divides 526 without a remainder.
1,2,263,526
Factors of 140
List of positive integer factors of 140 that divides 140 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 526,140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 526,140 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 353,996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 351588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/351588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/353,140/996 is 2/351588
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 353,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(353,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(353,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(353,996) = ( 353 × 996 ) / 1
LCM(353,996) = 351588 / 1
LCM(353,996) = 351588
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
