Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 294/53,342/7751
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 294,342
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 294,342 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,7751 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,7751 is 410803 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 294,342
2 | 294, 342 |
3 | 147, 171 |
49, 57 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Factors of 342
List of positive integer factors of 342 that divides 342 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,19,38,57,114,171,342
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 294,342 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 294,342 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,7751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 410803
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/410803
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/53,342/7751 is 6/410803
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 53,7751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,7751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,7751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,7751) = ( 53 × 7751 ) / 1
LCM(53,7751) = 410803 / 1
LCM(53,7751) = 410803
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
