Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 336/971,474/561
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 336,474
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 336,474 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 971,561 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 971,561 is 544731 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 336,474
2 | 336, 474 |
3 | 168, 237 |
56, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,474 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,561
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 544731
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/544731
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/971,474/561 is 6/544731
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 971,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,561) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,561) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,561) = ( 971 × 561 ) / 1
LCM(971,561) = 544731 / 1
LCM(971,561) = 544731
