Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 939/491,166/879
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 939,166
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 939,166 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 491,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 491,879 is 431589 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 939,166
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 939
List of positive integer factors of 939 that divides 939 without a remainder.
1,3,313,939
Factors of 166
List of positive integer factors of 166 that divides 166 without a remainder.
1,2,83,166
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 939,166 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 939,166 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 431589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/431589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 939/491,166/879 is 1/431589
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 491,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,879) = ( 491 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(491,879) = 431589 / 1
LCM(491,879) = 431589
