Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 731/16,261/8584
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 731,261
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 731,261 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,8584 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,8584 is 17168 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 731,261
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 731,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 731,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,8584
2 | 16, 8584 |
2 | 8, 4292 |
2 | 4, 2146 |
2, 1073 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1073 = 17168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/16,261/8584 is 1/17168
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 16,8584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,8584) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,8584) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(16,8584) = ( 16 × 8584 ) / 8
LCM(16,8584) = 137344 / 8
LCM(16,8584) = 17168
