Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 187/81,765/962
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 187,765
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 187,765 is 17 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,962 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,962 is 77922 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,765
17 | 187, 765 |
11, 45 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17

1,11,17,187
Factors of 765
List of positive integer factors of 765 that divides 765 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,17,45,51,85,153,255,765
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,765 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,765 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 77922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/77922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/81,765/962 is 17/77922
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 81,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,962) = ( 81 × 962 ) / 1
LCM(81,962) = 77922 / 1
LCM(81,962) = 77922
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
