Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 357/79,5033/924
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 357,5033
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 357,5033 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,924 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,924 is 72996 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 357,5033
7 | 357, 5033 |
51, 719 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Factors of 5033
List of positive integer factors of 5033 that divides 5033 without a remainder.
1,7,719,5033
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,5033 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,5033 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,924
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/72996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/79,5033/924 is 7/72996
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 79,924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,924) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,924) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,924) = ( 79 × 924 ) / 1
LCM(79,924) = 72996 / 1
LCM(79,924) = 72996
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
