Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 207/68,178/846
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 207,178
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 207,178 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,846 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,846 is 28764 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 207,178
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 207

1,3,9,23,69,207
Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 207,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 207,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,846
2 | 68, 846 |
34, 423 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 423 = 28764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/68,178/846 is 1/28764
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 68,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,846) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,846) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,846) = ( 68 × 846 ) / 2
LCM(68,846) = 57528 / 2
LCM(68,846) = 28764
