Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 304/14,703/1646
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 304,703
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 304,703 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,1646 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,1646 is 11522 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 304,703
19 | 304, 703 |
16, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19

Factors of 703
List of positive integer factors of 703 that divides 703 without a remainder.
1,19,37,703
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,703 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,1646
2 | 14, 1646 |
7, 823 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 823 = 11522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/11522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/14,703/1646 is 19/11522
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 14,1646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,1646) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,1646) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(14,1646) = ( 14 × 1646 ) / 2
LCM(14,1646) = 23044 / 2
LCM(14,1646) = 11522
