Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 41/189,739/172
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 41,739
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 41,739 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 189,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 189,172 is 32508 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 41,739
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 41
List of positive integer factors of 41 that divides 41 without a remainder.
1,41
Factors of 739
List of positive integer factors of 739 that divides 739 without a remainder.
1,739
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 41,739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 41,739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 189,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/189,739/172 is 1/32508
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 189,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(189,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(189,172) = ( 189 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(189,172) = 32508 / 1
LCM(189,172) = 32508
