Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 247/23,1197/459
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 247,1197
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 247,1197 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,459 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,459 is 10557 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 247,1197
19 | 247, 1197 |
13, 63 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19

1,3,7,9,19,21,57,63,133,171,399,1197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 247,1197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 247,1197 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10557
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/10557
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/23,1197/459 is 19/10557
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 23,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,459) = ( 23 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(23,459) = 10557 / 1
LCM(23,459) = 10557
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
