GCF of:

Greatest Common Factor of 21/959,16/278

Given fractions are 21/959,16/278

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 21,16

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,16 is 1 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 959,278 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 959,278 is 266602 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 21,16

GCF of Fractions 21/959,16/278 is 1/266602

∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 21,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,16 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 959,278

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266602

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/266602

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/959,16/278 is 1/266602

Least Common Multiple of 959,278 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 959,278 with GCF Formula

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 959,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(959,278) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(959,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(959,278) = ( 959 × 278 ) / 1

LCM(959,278) = 266602 / 1

LCM(959,278) = 266602
