Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 167/72,671/426
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 167,671
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 167,671 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,426 is 5112 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 167,671
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,167
Factors of 671
List of positive integer factors of 671 that divides 671 without a remainder.
1,11,61,671
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 167,671 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 167,671 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,426
2 | 72, 426 |
3 | 36, 213 |
12, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 12 x 71 = 5112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 167/72,671/426 is 1/5112
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 72,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,426) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,426) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(72,426) = ( 72 × 426 ) / 6
LCM(72,426) = 30672 / 6
LCM(72,426) = 5112
