Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 655/53,217/265
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 655,217
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 655,217 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,265 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,265 is 265 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 655,217
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 655
List of positive integer factors of 655 that divides 655 without a remainder.
1,5,131,655
Factors of 217
List of positive integer factors of 217 that divides 217 without a remainder.
1,7,31,217
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 655,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 655,217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,265
53 | 53, 265 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 53 x 1 x 5 = 265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 655/53,217/265 is 1/265
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 53,265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,265) = 53
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,265) x common factors =53 x 1 = 53
LCM(53,265) = ( 53 × 265 ) / 53
LCM(53,265) = 14045 / 53
LCM(53,265) = 265
