Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 243/32,3963/774
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 243,3963
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 243,3963 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,774 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,774 is 12384 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 243,3963
3 | 243, 3963 |
81, 1321 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 3963
List of positive integer factors of 3963 that divides 3963 without a remainder.
1,3,1321,3963
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 243,3963 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 243,3963 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,774
2 | 32, 774 |
16, 387 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 387 = 12384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/12384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 243/32,3963/774 is 3/12384
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 32,774 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,774) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,774) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,774) = ( 32 × 774 ) / 2
LCM(32,774) = 24768 / 2
LCM(32,774) = 12384
