Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/518,134/259
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 40,134
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,134 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 518,259 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 518,259 is 518 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,134
2 | 40, 134 |
20, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
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 134
List of positive integer factors of 134 that divides 134 without a remainder.
1,2,67,134
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,134 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,134 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 518,259
7 | 518, 259 |
37 | 74, 37 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 37 x 2 x 1 = 518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/518,134/259 is 2/518
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 518,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(518,259) = 259
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(518,259) x common factors =259 x 1 = 259
LCM(518,259) = ( 518 × 259 ) / 259
LCM(518,259) = 134162 / 259
LCM(518,259) = 518
