Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 551/11,435/725
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 551,435
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 551,435 is 29 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,725 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,725 is 7975 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 551,435
29 | 551, 435 |
19, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 29 = 29
Factors of 551
List of positive integer factors of 551 that divides 551 without a remainder.
1,19,29,551
Factors of 435
List of positive integer factors of 435 that divides 435 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,29,87,145,435
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 551,435 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 551,435 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/7975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/11,435/725 is 29/7975
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 11,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,725) = ( 11 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(11,725) = 7975 / 1
LCM(11,725) = 7975
