Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 232/72,961/6543
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 232,961
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 232,961 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,6543 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,6543 is 52344 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 232,961
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 232 that divides 232 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Factors of 961
List of positive integer factors of 961 that divides 961 without a remainder.
1,31,961
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 232,961 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 232,961 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,6543
3 | 72, 6543 |
3 | 24, 2181 |
8, 727 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 8 x 727 = 52344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/72,961/6543 is 1/52344
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 72,6543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,6543) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,6543) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(72,6543) = ( 72 × 6543 ) / 9
LCM(72,6543) = 471096 / 9
LCM(72,6543) = 52344
