Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/978,455/435
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 26,455
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 26,455 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 978,435 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 978,435 is 141810 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,455
13 | 26, 455 |
2, 35 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Factors of 26

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,455 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,455 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,435
3 | 978, 435 |
326, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 326 x 145 = 141810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/141810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/978,455/435 is 13/141810
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 978,435 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,435) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,435) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(978,435) = ( 978 × 435 ) / 3
LCM(978,435) = 425430 / 3
LCM(978,435) = 141810
