Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 162/87,407/4938
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 162,407
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 162,407 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,4938 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,4938 is 143202 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 162,407
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Factors of 407
List of positive integer factors of 407 that divides 407 without a remainder.
1,11,37,407
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,407 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,407 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,4938
3 | 87, 4938 |
29, 1646 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 1646 = 143202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/87,407/4938 is 1/143202
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 87,4938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,4938) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,4938) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,4938) = ( 87 × 4938 ) / 3
LCM(87,4938) = 429606 / 3
LCM(87,4938) = 143202
