Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 9/501, 2/678 i.e 1/113226 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 9/501, 2/678.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9/501,2/678
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 9/501,2/678, numerators are 9,2
Denominators are 501,678
The GCF of 9,2 is 1 .
LCM of 501,678 is 113226.
The greatest common factor of 9/501,2/678 = [GCF of 9,2]/[LCM of 501,678]= 1/113226
Therefore, the GCF of 9/501,2/678 is 1/113226.
To find the highest common factor of 9,2, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9
The factors of 2 are 1, 2
The HCF of 9,2 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 9,2
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,678
3 | 501, 678 |
167, 226 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 167 x 226 = 113226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/501,2/678 is 1/113226
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 501,678 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,678) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,678) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(501,678) = ( 501 × 678 ) / 3
LCM(501,678) = 339678 / 3
LCM(501,678) = 113226
