Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 138/852,6209/140
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 138,6209
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 138,6209 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 852,140 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 852,140 is 29820 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 138,6209
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 6209
List of positive integer factors of 6209 that divides 6209 without a remainder.
1,7,887,6209
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 138,6209 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 138,6209 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 852,140
2 | 852, 140 |
2 | 426, 70 |
213, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 213 x 35 = 29820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 138/852,6209/140 is 1/29820
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 852,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,140) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,140) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(852,140) = ( 852 × 140 ) / 4
LCM(852,140) = 119280 / 4
LCM(852,140) = 29820
