Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/976,702/756
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 16,702
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,702 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 976,756 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 976,756 is 184464 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,702
2 | 16, 702 |
8, 351 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 16

1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 702
List of positive integer factors of 702 that divides 702 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,13,18,26,27,39,54,78,117,234,351,702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,702 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,756
2 | 976, 756 |
2 | 488, 378 |
244, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 244 x 189 = 184464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/184464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/976,702/756 is 2/184464
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 976,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,756) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,756) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(976,756) = ( 976 × 756 ) / 4
LCM(976,756) = 737856 / 4
LCM(976,756) = 184464
