Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 73/307,259/960
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 73,259
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 73,259 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 307,960 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 307,960 is 294720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 73,259
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 73
List of positive integer factors of 73 that divides 73 without a remainder.
1,73
Factors of 259
List of positive integer factors of 259 that divides 259 without a remainder.
1,7,37,259
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 307,960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 294720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/294720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/307,259/960 is 1/294720
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 307,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,960) = ( 307 × 960 ) / 1
LCM(307,960) = 294720 / 1
LCM(307,960) = 294720
