Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 1/271, 8/493 i.e 1/133603 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 1/271, 8/493.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1/271,8/493
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 1/271,8/493, numerators are 1,8
Denominators are 271,493
The GCF of 1,8 is 1 .
LCM of 271,493 is 133603.
The greatest common factor of 1/271,8/493 = [GCF of 1,8]/[LCM of 271,493]= 1/133603
Therefore, the GCF of 1/271,8/493 is 1/133603.
To find the highest common factor of 1,8, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 1 are 1
The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8
The HCF of 1,8 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1,8
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133603
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133603
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1/271,8/493 is 1/133603
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 271,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,493) = ( 271 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(271,493) = 133603 / 1
LCM(271,493) = 133603
