Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 140/982,139/772
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 140,139
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 140,139 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 982,772 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 982,772 is 379052 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 140,139
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 140
List of positive integer factors of 140 that divides 140 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Factors of 139
List of positive integer factors of 139 that divides 139 without a remainder.
1,139
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 140,139 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 140,139 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,772
2 | 982, 772 |
491, 386 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 386 = 379052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/379052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 140/982,139/772 is 1/379052
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 982,772 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,772) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,772) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,772) = ( 982 × 772 ) / 2
LCM(982,772) = 758104 / 2
LCM(982,772) = 379052
