Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/262,24/749
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 51/262,24/749, numerators are 51,24
Denominators are 262,749
The GCF of 51,24 is 3 .
LCM of 262,749 is 196238.
The greatest common factor of 51/262,24/749 = [GCF of 51,24]/[LCM of 262,749]= 3/196238
Therefore, the GCF of 51/262,24/749 is 3/196238.
To find the highest common factor of 51,24, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17, 51
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The HCF of 51,24 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,24
3 | 51, 24 |
17, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 51
:1,3,17,51
Now, list down the factors of 24
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,24 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,24 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/196238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/262,24/749 is 3/196238
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 262,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,749) = ( 262 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(262,749) = 196238 / 1
LCM(262,749) = 196238
