Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 126/98,931/459
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 126,931
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 126,931 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,459 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,459 is 44982 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 126,931
7 | 126, 931 |
18, 133 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,63,126
Factors of 931
List of positive integer factors of 931 that divides 931 without a remainder.
1,7,19,49,133,931
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 126,931 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 126,931 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/44982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 126/98,931/459 is 7/44982
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 98,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,459) = ( 98 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(98,459) = 44982 / 1
LCM(98,459) = 44982
