Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 147/314,3771/971
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 147,3771
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 147,3771 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 314,971 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 314,971 is 304894 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 147,3771
3 | 147, 3771 |
49, 1257 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 3771
List of positive integer factors of 3771 that divides 3771 without a remainder.
1,3,9,419,1257,3771
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 147,3771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 147,3771 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 304894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/304894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 147/314,3771/971 is 3/304894
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 314,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(314,971) = ( 314 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(314,971) = 304894 / 1
LCM(314,971) = 304894
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
