Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/141,745/197
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 40,745
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,745 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 141,197 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 141,197 is 27777 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,745
5 | 40, 745 |
8, 149 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 745
List of positive integer factors of 745 that divides 745 without a remainder.
1,5,149,745
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,745 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,745 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27777
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/27777
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/141,745/197 is 5/27777
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 141,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(141,197) = ( 141 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(141,197) = 27777 / 1
LCM(141,197) = 27777
