Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 162/10,9612/701
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 162,9612
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 162,9612 is 54 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 10,701 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 10,701 is 7010 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 162,9612
2 | 162, 9612 |
3 | 81, 4806 |
3 | 27, 1602 |
3 | 9, 534 |
3, 178 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 54

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,9612 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,9612 is 54.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 54/7010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/10,9612/701 is 54/7010
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 10,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,701) = ( 10 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(10,701) = 7010 / 1
LCM(10,701) = 7010
