Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 24/660,74/871
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 24/660,74/871, numerators are 24,74
Denominators are 660,871
The GCF of 24,74 is 2 .
LCM of 660,871 is 574860.
The greatest common factor of 24/660,74/871 = [GCF of 24,74]/[LCM of 660,871]= 2/574860
Therefore, the GCF of 24/660,74/871 is 2/574860.
To find the highest common factor of 24,74, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, 74
The HCF of 24,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 24,74
2 | 24, 74 |
12, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 24
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Now, list down the factors of 74
:1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 24,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 24,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 660,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 574860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/574860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/660,74/871 is 2/574860
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 660,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(660,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(660,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(660,871) = ( 660 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(660,871) = 574860 / 1
LCM(660,871) = 574860
