Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/210,159/914
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 40,159
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,159 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 210,914 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 210,914 is 95970 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,159
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
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 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 210,914
2 | 210, 914 |
105, 457 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 105 x 457 = 95970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/95970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/210,159/914 is 1/95970
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 210,914 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(210,914) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(210,914) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(210,914) = ( 210 × 914 ) / 2
LCM(210,914) = 191940 / 2
LCM(210,914) = 95970
