Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 621/18,201/259
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 621/18,201/259, numerators are 621,201
Denominators are 18,259
The GCF of 621,201 is 3 .
LCM of 18,259 is 4662.
The greatest common factor of 621/18,201/259 = [GCF of 621,201]/[LCM of 18,259]= 3/4662
Therefore, the GCF of 621/18,201/259 is 3/4662.
To find the highest common factor of 621,201, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 621 are 1, 3, 9, 23, 27, 69, 207, 621
The factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201
The HCF of 621,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 621,201
3 | 621, 201 |
207, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 621
:1,3,9,23,27,69,207,621
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 621,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 621,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 621/18,201/259 is 3/4662
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 18,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,259) = ( 18 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(18,259) = 4662 / 1
LCM(18,259) = 4662
