Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 73/257,74/3250
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 73/257,74/3250, numerators are 73,74
Denominators are 257,3250
The GCF of 73,74 is 1 .
LCM of 257,3250 is 835250.
The greatest common factor of 73/257,74/3250 = [GCF of 73,74]/[LCM of 257,3250]= 1/835250
Therefore, the GCF of 73/257,74/3250 is 1/835250.
To find the highest common factor of 73,74, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 73 are 1, 73
The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, 74
The HCF of 73,74 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 73,74
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,3250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 835250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/835250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/257,74/3250 is 1/835250
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 257,3250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,3250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,3250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,3250) = ( 257 × 3250 ) / 1
LCM(257,3250) = 835250 / 1
LCM(257,3250) = 835250
