Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 318/21,903/166
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 318,903
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 318,903 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,166 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,166 is 3486 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 318,903
3 | 318, 903 |
106, 301 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 318 that divides 318 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,53,106,159,318
Factors of 903
List of positive integer factors of 903 that divides 903 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,43,129,301,903
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 318,903 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 318,903 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,166
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/21,903/166 is 3/3486
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 21,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,166) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,166) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,166) = ( 21 × 166 ) / 1
LCM(21,166) = 3486 / 1
LCM(21,166) = 3486
