Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 878/79,140/1109
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 878,140
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 878,140 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,1109 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,1109 is 87611 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 878,140
2 | 878, 140 |
439, 70 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 878 that divides 878 without a remainder.
1,2,439,878
Factors of 140
List of positive integer factors of 140 that divides 140 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 878,140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 878,140 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,1109
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87611
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87611
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/79,140/1109 is 2/87611
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 79,1109 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,1109) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,1109) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,1109) = ( 79 × 1109 ) / 1
LCM(79,1109) = 87611 / 1
LCM(79,1109) = 87611
