Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 116/17,972/5087
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 116,972
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 116,972 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,5087 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,5087 is 86479 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 116,972
2 | 116, 972 |
2 | 58, 486 |
29, 243 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,29,58,116
Factors of 972
List of positive integer factors of 972 that divides 972 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,81,108,162,243,324,486,972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 116,972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 116,972 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,5087
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/86479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 116/17,972/5087 is 4/86479
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 17,5087 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,5087) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,5087) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,5087) = ( 17 × 5087 ) / 1
LCM(17,5087) = 86479 / 1
LCM(17,5087) = 86479
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
