Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 39/538,17/151
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 39/538,17/151, numerators are 39,17
Denominators are 538,151
The GCF of 39,17 is 1 .
LCM of 538,151 is 81238.
The greatest common factor of 39/538,17/151 = [GCF of 39,17]/[LCM of 538,151]= 1/81238
Therefore, the GCF of 39/538,17/151 is 1/81238.
To find the highest common factor of 39,17, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 39 are 1, 3, 13, 39
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The HCF of 39,17 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 39,17
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/538,17/151 is 1/81238
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 538,151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,151) = ( 538 × 151 ) / 1
LCM(538,151) = 81238 / 1
LCM(538,151) = 81238
