Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 346/1787,865/8696
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 346,865
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 346,865 is 173 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 1787,8696 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 1787,8696 is 15539752 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 346,865
173 | 346, 865 |
2, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 173 = 173

1,2,173,346
Factors of 865
List of positive integer factors of 865 that divides 865 without a remainder.
1,5,173,865
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 346,865 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 346,865 is 173.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1787,8696
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15539752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 173/15539752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 346/1787,865/8696 is 173/15539752
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 1787,8696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1787,8696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1787,8696) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1787,8696) = ( 1787 × 8696 ) / 1
LCM(1787,8696) = 15539752 / 1
LCM(1787,8696) = 15539752
