Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2843/18,9681/500
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 2843,9681
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2843,9681 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,500 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,500 is 4500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2843,9681
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 9681
List of positive integer factors of 9681 that divides 9681 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,461,1383,3227,9681
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2843,9681 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2843,9681 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,500
2 | 18, 500 |
9, 250 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 250 = 4500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2843/18,9681/500 is 1/4500
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 18,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,500) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,500) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,500) = ( 18 × 500 ) / 2
LCM(18,500) = 9000 / 2
LCM(18,500) = 4500
