Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 118/947,978/294
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 118,978
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 118,978 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 947,294 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 947,294 is 278418 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 118,978
2 | 118, 978 |
59, 489 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,59,118
Factors of 978
List of positive integer factors of 978 that divides 978 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,163,326,489,978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 947,294
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 278418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/278418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/947,978/294 is 2/278418
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 947,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,294) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,294) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,294) = ( 947 × 294 ) / 1
LCM(947,294) = 278418 / 1
LCM(947,294) = 278418
