Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 5/727, 3/263 i.e 1/191201 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 5/727, 3/263.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5/727,3/263
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 5/727,3/263, numerators are 5,3
Denominators are 727,263
The GCF of 5,3 is 1 .
LCM of 727,263 is 191201.
The greatest common factor of 5/727,3/263 = [GCF of 5,3]/[LCM of 727,263]= 1/191201
Therefore, the GCF of 5/727,3/263 is 1/191201.
To find the highest common factor of 5,3, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 5 are 1, 5
The factors of 3 are 1, 3
The HCF of 5,3 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5,3
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191201
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/191201
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/727,3/263 is 1/191201
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 727,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,263) = ( 727 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(727,263) = 191201 / 1
LCM(727,263) = 191201
