Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 241/71,257/257
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 241/71,257/257, numerators are 241,257
Denominators are 71,257
The GCF of 241,257 is 1 .
LCM of 71,257 is 18247.
The greatest common factor of 241/71,257/257 = [GCF of 241,257]/[LCM of 71,257]= 1/18247
Therefore, the GCF of 241/71,257/257 is 1/18247.
To find the highest common factor of 241,257, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 241 are 1, 241
The factors of 257 are 1, 257
The HCF of 241,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 241,257
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 241
:1,241
Now, list down the factors of 257
:1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 241,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 241,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18247
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18247
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 241/71,257/257 is 1/18247
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 71,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,257) = ( 71 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(71,257) = 18247 / 1
LCM(71,257) = 18247
