Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 342/23,5037/279
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 342,5037
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 342,5037 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,279 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,279 is 6417 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 342,5037
3 | 342, 5037 |
114, 1679 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 5037 that divides 5037 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69,73,219,1679,5037
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 342,5037 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 342,5037 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6417
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6417
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/23,5037/279 is 3/6417
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 23,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,279) = ( 23 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(23,279) = 6417 / 1
LCM(23,279) = 6417
