GCF of:

Greatest Common Factor of 58/5,86/3

Given fractions are 58/5,86/3

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 58,86

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 58,86 is 2 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 5,3 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 5,3 is 15 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 58,86

GCF of Fractions 58/5,86/3 is 2/15

2 58, 86
29, 43

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,29,58

Factors of 86

List of positive integer factors of 86 that divides 86 without a remainder.

1,2,43,86

Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 58,86 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 58,86 is 2.

Lets's calculate LCM of 5,3

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 58/5,86/3 is 2/15

Least Common Multiple of 5,3 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 5,3 with GCF Formula

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 5,3 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(5,3) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(5,3) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(5,3) = ( 5 × 3 ) / 1

LCM(5,3) = 15 / 1

LCM(5,3) = 15
