Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2/52,1/40,7/60,59/582
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 2/52,1/40,7/60,59/582, numerators are 2,1,7,59
Denominators are 52,40,60,582
The GCF of 2,1,7,59 is 1 .
LCM of 52,40,60,582 is 151320.
The greatest common factor of 2/52,1/40,7/60,59/582 = [GCF of 2,1,7,59]/[LCM of 52,40,60,582]= 1/151320
Therefore, the GCF of 2/52,1/40,7/60,59/582 is 1/151320.

The factors of 2 are 1, 2
The factors of 1 are 1
The factors of 7 are 1, 7
The factors of 59 are 1, 59
The HCF of 2,1,7,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2,1,7,59
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2
:1,2
Now, list down the factors of 1
:1
Now, list down the factors of 7
:1,7
Now, list down the factors of 59
:1,59
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,1,7,59 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,1,7,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,40,60,582
2 | 52, 40, 60, 582 |
2 | 26, 20, 30, 291 |
3 | 13, 10, 15, 291 |
5 | 13, 10, 5, 97 |
13, 2, 1, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 13 x 2 x 1 x 97 = 151320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/151320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/52,1/40,7/60,59/582 is 1/151320
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 52,40,60,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,40,60,582) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 240
GCF(52,40,60,582) x common factors =2 x 240 = 480
LCM(52,40,60,582) = ( 52 × 40 × 60 × 582 ) / 480
LCM(52,40,60,582) = 72633600 / 480
LCM(52,40,60,582) = 151320
