Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1175/15,2929/774
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 1175,2929
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1175,2929 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,774 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,774 is 3870 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1175,2929
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 2929
List of positive integer factors of 2929 that divides 2929 without a remainder.
1,29,101,2929
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1175,2929 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1175,2929 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,774
3 | 15, 774 |
5, 258 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 258 = 3870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1175/15,2929/774 is 1/3870
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 15,774 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,774) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,774) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,774) = ( 15 × 774 ) / 3
LCM(15,774) = 11610 / 3
LCM(15,774) = 3870
