Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1983/933,5223/139
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 1983,5223
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1983,5223 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 933,139 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 933,139 is 129687 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1983,5223
3 | 1983, 5223 |
661, 1741 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 1983 that divides 1983 without a remainder.
1,3,661,1983
Factors of 5223
List of positive integer factors of 5223 that divides 5223 without a remainder.
1,3,1741,5223
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1983,5223 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1983,5223 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 933,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/129687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1983/933,5223/139 is 3/129687
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 933,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(933,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(933,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(933,139) = ( 933 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(933,139) = 129687 / 1
LCM(933,139) = 129687
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
