Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 62/996,486/511
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 62,486
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 62,486 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 996,511 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 996,511 is 508956 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 62,486
2 | 62, 486 |
31, 243 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 62
List of positive integer factors of 62 that divides 62 without a remainder.
1,2,31,62
Factors of 486
List of positive integer factors of 486 that divides 486 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 62,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 62,486 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 508956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/508956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 62/996,486/511 is 2/508956
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 996,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(996,511) = ( 996 × 511 ) / 1
LCM(996,511) = 508956 / 1
LCM(996,511) = 508956
