Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 345/89,4163/173
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 345,4163
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 345,4163 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 89,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 89,173 is 15397 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 345,4163
23 | 345, 4163 |
15, 181 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Factors of 4163
List of positive integer factors of 4163 that divides 4163 without a remainder.
1,23,181,4163
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 345,4163 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,4163 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/15397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/89,4163/173 is 23/15397
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 89,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,173) = ( 89 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(89,173) = 15397 / 1
LCM(89,173) = 15397
