Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/937,6854/476
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 253,6854
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,6854 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 937,476 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 937,476 is 446012 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,6854
23 | 253, 6854 |
11, 298 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23
Factors of 253

1,11,23,253
Factors of 6854
List of positive integer factors of 6854 that divides 6854 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46,149,298,3427,6854
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,6854 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,6854 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 937,476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 446012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/446012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/937,6854/476 is 23/446012
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 937,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,476) = ( 937 × 476 ) / 1
LCM(937,476) = 446012 / 1
LCM(937,476) = 446012
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
