Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 7/159, 4/601 i.e 1/95559 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 7/159, 4/601.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7/159,4/601
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 7/159,4/601, numerators are 7,4
Denominators are 159,601
The GCF of 7,4 is 1 .
LCM of 159,601 is 95559.
The greatest common factor of 7/159,4/601 = [GCF of 7,4]/[LCM of 159,601]= 1/95559
Therefore, the GCF of 7/159,4/601 is 1/95559.
To find the highest common factor of 7,4, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 7 are 1, 7
The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4
The HCF of 7,4 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7,4
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/95559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/159,4/601 is 1/95559
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 159,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,601) = ( 159 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(159,601) = 95559 / 1
LCM(159,601) = 95559
