Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 27/103,2979/5862
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 27,2979
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 27,2979 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 103,5862 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 103,5862 is 603786 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,2979
3 | 27, 2979 |
3 | 9, 993 |
3, 331 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,2979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,2979 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 103,5862
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 603786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/603786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/103,2979/5862 is 9/603786
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 103,5862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(103,5862) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(103,5862) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(103,5862) = ( 103 × 5862 ) / 1
LCM(103,5862) = 603786 / 1
LCM(103,5862) = 603786
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
