Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1138/79,3901/139
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 1138,3901
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1138,3901 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,139 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,139 is 10981 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1138,3901
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1138
List of positive integer factors of 1138 that divides 1138 without a remainder.
1,2,569,1138
Factors of 3901
List of positive integer factors of 3901 that divides 3901 without a remainder.
1,47,83,3901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1138,3901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1138,3901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1138/79,3901/139 is 1/10981
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 79,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,139) = ( 79 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(79,139) = 10981 / 1
LCM(79,139) = 10981
