Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 439/78,979/3004
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 439,979
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 439,979 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 78,3004 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 78,3004 is 117156 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 439,979
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 979
List of positive integer factors of 979 that divides 979 without a remainder.
1,11,89,979
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 439,979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 439,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,3004
2 | 78, 3004 |
39, 1502 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 1502 = 117156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 439/78,979/3004 is 1/117156
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 78,3004 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,3004) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,3004) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,3004) = ( 78 × 3004 ) / 2
LCM(78,3004) = 234312 / 2
LCM(78,3004) = 117156
