Greatest Common Factor vs SteelBeamChecker

The factors of a number are all the integers that you can evenly divide into that number. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the greatest integer that divides exactly into two or more numbers with no remainder. The Greatest Common Factor is used to simplify fractions. To simplify a fraction, you can divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the GCF of the numerator and denominator. Factors, the Greatest Common Factor, and simplifying fractions go hand-in-hand. Use this app to get the factors of a number, get the Greatest Common Factor of two or more numbers, and to simplify fractions.

An easy to run preliminary checks on how your steel beam is withstanding loads (shear force, compressive force, tensile force and bending moment). User only needs to input the initial parameters, such as beam length, loading information, end conditions and steel grade, this app can then quickly conduct checks to see if your beam is able to withstand the designated loadings! All the results will then be display as clear and simply percentage values! This app currently support the use of universal column, parallel flange channel and circular hollow section! more beam types are coming soon! Remarks and Disclaimer 1. The design calculation are following the clauses in Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2013 in Hong Kong. 2. The app is for reference check only, all the structures can only be applied in use after they are verified and endorsed by related competent professional person.
