Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 39/340,759/942
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 39,759
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 39,759 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 340,942 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 340,942 is 160140 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 39,759
3 | 39, 759 |
13, 253 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 39
List of positive integer factors of 39 that divides 39 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39
Factors of 759
List of positive integer factors of 759 that divides 759 without a remainder.
1,3,11,23,33,69,253,759
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,759 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,759 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 340,942
2 | 340, 942 |
170, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 170 x 471 = 160140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/160140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/340,759/942 is 3/160140
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 340,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(340,942) = ( 340 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(340,942) = 320280 / 2
LCM(340,942) = 160140
