Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 600/750,721/572
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 600,721
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 600,721 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 750,572 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 750,572 is 214500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 600,721
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
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 721
List of positive integer factors of 721 that divides 721 without a remainder.
1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 750,572
2 | 750, 572 |
375, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 375 x 286 = 214500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/214500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/750,721/572 is 1/214500
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 750,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(750,572) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(750,572) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(750,572) = ( 750 × 572 ) / 2
LCM(750,572) = 429000 / 2
LCM(750,572) = 214500
