Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 7/279, 5/835 i.e 1/232965 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 7/279, 5/835.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7/279,5/835
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 7/279,5/835, numerators are 7,5
Denominators are 279,835
The GCF of 7,5 is 1 .
LCM of 279,835 is 232965.
The greatest common factor of 7/279,5/835 = [GCF of 7,5]/[LCM of 279,835]= 1/232965
Therefore, the GCF of 7/279,5/835 is 1/232965.
To find the highest common factor of 7,5, 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 5 are 1, 5
The HCF of 7,5 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7,5
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,835
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/279,5/835 is 1/232965
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 279,835 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,835) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,835) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,835) = ( 279 × 835 ) / 1
LCM(279,835) = 232965 / 1
LCM(279,835) = 232965
