Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 90/500,725/131
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 90,725
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 90,725 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 500,131 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 500,131 is 65500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 90,725
5 | 90, 725 |
18, 145 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 90
List of positive integer factors of 90 that divides 90 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45,90
Factors of 725
List of positive integer factors of 725 that divides 725 without a remainder.
1,5,25,29,145,725
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 90,725 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 90,725 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/65500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 90/500,725/131 is 5/65500
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 500,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,131) = ( 500 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(500,131) = 65500 / 1
LCM(500,131) = 65500
