Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 234/370,927/557
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 234,927
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 234,927 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 370,557 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 370,557 is 206090 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 234,927
3 | 234, 927 |
3 | 78, 309 |
26, 103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Factors of 927
List of positive integer factors of 927 that divides 927 without a remainder.
1,3,9,103,309,927
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,927 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,927 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 370,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/206090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/370,927/557 is 9/206090
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 370,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(370,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(370,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(370,557) = ( 370 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(370,557) = 206090 / 1
LCM(370,557) = 206090
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
