Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 273/659,363/407
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 273,363
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 273,363 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 659,407 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 659,407 is 268213 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 273,363
3 | 273, 363 |
91, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 363
List of positive integer factors of 363 that divides 363 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33,121,363
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 273,363 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 273,363 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268213
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/268213
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/659,363/407 is 3/268213
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 659,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,407) = ( 659 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(659,407) = 268213 / 1
LCM(659,407) = 268213
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
