Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 342/28,723/7963
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 342,723
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 342,723 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 28,7963 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 28,7963 is 222964 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 342,723
3 | 342, 723 |
114, 241 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,6,9,18,19,38,57,114,171,342
Factors of 723
List of positive integer factors of 723 that divides 723 without a remainder.
1,3,241,723
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 342,723 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 342,723 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,7963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 222964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/222964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/28,723/7963 is 3/222964
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 28,7963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,7963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,7963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,7963) = ( 28 × 7963 ) / 1
LCM(28,7963) = 222964 / 1
LCM(28,7963) = 222964
