GCF of:

Greatest Common Factor of 6/21,5/79,40/51,79/318

Given fractions are 6/21,5/79,40/51,79/318

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 6,5,40,79

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6,5,40,79 is 1 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,79,51,318 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 21,79,51,318 is 2989518 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 6,5,40,79

So the greatest common factor 6,5,40,79 is 1.


Lets's calculate LCM of 21,79,51,318

3 21, 79, 51, 318
7, 79, 17, 106

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 79 x 17 x 106 = 2989518

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2989518

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/21,5/79,40/51,79/318 is 1/2989518

Least Common Multiple of 21,79,51,318 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 21,79,51,318 with GCF Formula

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 21,79,51,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(21,79,51,318) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9

GCF(21,79,51,318) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9

LCM(21,79,51,318) = ( 21 × 79 × 51 × 318 ) / 9

LCM(21,79,51,318) = 26905662 / 9

LCM(21,79,51,318) = 2989518
