Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 235/39,761/489
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 235,761
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 235,761 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 39,489 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 39,489 is 6357 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 235,761
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Factors of 761
List of positive integer factors of 761 that divides 761 without a remainder.
1,761
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,761 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,761 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,489
3 | 39, 489 |
13, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 163 = 6357
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6357
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/39,761/489 is 1/6357
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 39,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,489) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,489) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,489) = ( 39 × 489 ) / 3
LCM(39,489) = 19071 / 3
LCM(39,489) = 6357
