Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/588,11/136
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 26/588,11/136, numerators are 26,11
Denominators are 588,136
The GCF of 26,11 is 1 .
LCM of 588,136 is 19992.
The greatest common factor of 26/588,11/136 = [GCF of 26,11]/[LCM of 588,136]= 1/19992
Therefore, the GCF of 26/588,11/136 is 1/19992.
To find the highest common factor of 26,11, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 26 are 1, 2, 13, 26
The factors of 11 are 1, 11
The HCF of 26,11 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,11
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,136
2 | 588, 136 |
2 | 294, 68 |
147, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 147 x 34 = 19992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/588,11/136 is 1/19992
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 588,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,136) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,136) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(588,136) = ( 588 × 136 ) / 4
LCM(588,136) = 79968 / 4
LCM(588,136) = 19992
