Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 181/40,189/1039
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 181,189
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 181,189 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,1039 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,1039 is 41560 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 181,189
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 181
List of positive integer factors of 181 that divides 181 without a remainder.
1,181
Factors of 189
List of positive integer factors of 189 that divides 189 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 181,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 181,189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,1039
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 181/40,189/1039 is 1/41560
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 40,1039 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,1039) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,1039) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,1039) = ( 40 × 1039 ) / 1
LCM(40,1039) = 41560 / 1
LCM(40,1039) = 41560
