Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/980,85/240
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 71/980,85/240, numerators are 71,85
Denominators are 980,240
The GCF of 71,85 is 1 .
LCM of 980,240 is 11760.
The greatest common factor of 71/980,85/240 = [GCF of 71,85]/[LCM of 980,240]= 1/11760
Therefore, the GCF of 71/980,85/240 is 1/11760.
To find the highest common factor of 71,85, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 71 are 1, 71
The factors of 85 are 1, 5, 17, 85
The HCF of 71,85 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,85
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,240
2 | 980, 240 |
2 | 490, 120 |
5 | 245, 60 |
49, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 49 x 12 = 11760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/980,85/240 is 1/11760
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 980,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,240) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,240) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(980,240) = ( 980 × 240 ) / 20
LCM(980,240) = 235200 / 20
LCM(980,240) = 11760
