Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 172/67,884/6497
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 172,884
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 172,884 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 67,6497 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 67,6497 is 435299 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 172,884
2 | 172, 884 |
2 | 86, 442 |
43, 221 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,43,86,172
Factors of 884
List of positive integer factors of 884 that divides 884 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,17,26,34,52,68,221,442,884
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 172,884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 172,884 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,6497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 435299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/435299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/67,884/6497 is 4/435299
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 67,6497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,6497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,6497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,6497) = ( 67 × 6497 ) / 1
LCM(67,6497) = 435299 / 1
LCM(67,6497) = 435299
