Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 586/341,534/237
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 586,534
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 586,534 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 341,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 341,237 is 80817 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 586,534
2 | 586, 534 |
293, 267 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 586
List of positive integer factors of 586 that divides 586 without a remainder.
1,2,293,586
Factors of 534
List of positive integer factors of 534 that divides 534 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,89,178,267,534
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 586,534 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 586,534 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 341,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/341,534/237 is 2/80817
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 341,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(341,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(341,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(341,237) = ( 341 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(341,237) = 80817 / 1
LCM(341,237) = 80817
