Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 239/899,173/889
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 239,173
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 239,173 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 899,889 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 899,889 is 799211 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 239,173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 239
List of positive integer factors of 239 that divides 239 without a remainder.
1,239
Factors of 173
List of positive integer factors of 173 that divides 173 without a remainder.
1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 239,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 239,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 899,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 799211
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/799211
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 239/899,173/889 is 1/799211
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 899,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(899,889) = ( 899 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(899,889) = 799211 / 1
LCM(899,889) = 799211
