Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 177/517,1809/977
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 177,1809
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 177,1809 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 517,977 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 517,977 is 505109 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 177,1809
3 | 177, 1809 |
59, 603 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 1809
List of positive integer factors of 1809 that divides 1809 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,67,201,603,1809
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 177,1809 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 177,1809 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 505109
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/505109
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/517,1809/977 is 3/505109
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 517,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,977) = ( 517 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(517,977) = 505109 / 1
LCM(517,977) = 505109
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
