Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/261,471/101
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 60,471
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,471 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 261,101 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 261,101 is 26361 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,471
3 | 60, 471 |
20, 157 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 60
List of positive integer factors of 60 that divides 60 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 471
List of positive integer factors of 471 that divides 471 without a remainder.
1,3,157,471
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,471 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 261,101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26361
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/26361
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/261,471/101 is 3/26361
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 261,101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(261,101) = ( 261 × 101 ) / 1
LCM(261,101) = 26361 / 1
LCM(261,101) = 26361
