Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 187/212,8726/400
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 187,8726
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 187,8726 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 212,400 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 212,400 is 21200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,8726
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 8726
List of positive integer factors of 8726 that divides 8726 without a remainder.
1,2,4363,8726
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,8726 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,8726 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,400
2 | 212, 400 |
2 | 106, 200 |
53, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 100 = 21200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/212,8726/400 is 1/21200
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 212,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,400) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,400) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,400) = ( 212 × 400 ) / 4
LCM(212,400) = 84800 / 4
LCM(212,400) = 21200
