Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3941/70,5959/176
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 3941,5959
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3941,5959 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,176 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,176 is 6160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3941,5959
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 5959
List of positive integer factors of 5959 that divides 5959 without a remainder.
1,59,101,5959
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3941,5959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3941,5959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,176
2 | 70, 176 |
35, 88 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 88 = 6160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3941/70,5959/176 is 1/6160
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 70,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,176) = ( 70 × 176 ) / 2
LCM(70,176) = 12320 / 2
LCM(70,176) = 6160
