Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 87/298,11/3502
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 87/298,11/3502, numerators are 87,11
Denominators are 298,3502
The GCF of 87,11 is 1 .
LCM of 298,3502 is 521798.
The greatest common factor of 87/298,11/3502 = [GCF of 87,11]/[LCM of 298,3502]= 1/521798
Therefore, the GCF of 87/298,11/3502 is 1/521798.
To find the highest common factor of 87,11, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 87 are 1, 3, 29, 87
The factors of 11 are 1, 11
The HCF of 87,11 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 87,11
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,3502
2 | 298, 3502 |
149, 1751 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 1751 = 521798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/521798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/298,11/3502 is 1/521798
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 298,3502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,3502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,3502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(298,3502) = ( 298 × 3502 ) / 2
LCM(298,3502) = 1043596 / 2
LCM(298,3502) = 521798
