Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 600/160,586/217
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 600,586
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 600,586 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 160,217 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 160,217 is 34720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 600,586
2 | 600, 586 |
300, 293 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 600
List of positive integer factors of 600 that divides 600 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,150,200,300,600
Factors of 586
List of positive integer factors of 586 that divides 586 without a remainder.
1,2,293,586
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,586 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,586 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/160,586/217 is 2/34720
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 160,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(160,217) = ( 160 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(160,217) = 34720 / 1
LCM(160,217) = 34720
