Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 259/129,9939/682
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 259,9939
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 259,9939 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 129,682 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 129,682 is 87978 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 259,9939
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 259
List of positive integer factors of 259 that divides 259 without a remainder.
1,7,37,259
Factors of 9939
List of positive integer factors of 9939 that divides 9939 without a remainder.
1,3,3313,9939
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 259,9939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 259,9939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 129,682
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/129,9939/682 is 1/87978
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 129,682 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,682) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(129,682) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(129,682) = ( 129 × 682 ) / 1
LCM(129,682) = 87978 / 1
LCM(129,682) = 87978
