Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 239/42,9663/168
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 239,9663
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 239,9663 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,168 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,168 is 168 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 239,9663
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,3221,9663
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 239,9663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 239,9663 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,168
2 | 42, 168 |
3 | 21, 84 |
7 | 7, 28 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 4 = 168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 239/42,9663/168 is 1/168
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 42,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,168) = 42
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,168) x common factors =42 x 1 = 42
LCM(42,168) = ( 42 × 168 ) / 42
LCM(42,168) = 7056 / 42
LCM(42,168) = 168
