Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 36/117,1926/7900
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 36,1926
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 36,1926 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 117,7900 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 117,7900 is 924300 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 36,1926
2 | 36, 1926 |
3 | 18, 963 |
3 | 6, 321 |
2, 107 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

1,2,3,6,9,18,107,214,321,642,963,1926
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,1926 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,1926 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 117,7900
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 924300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/924300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/117,1926/7900 is 18/924300
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 117,7900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,7900) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,7900) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,7900) = ( 117 × 7900 ) / 1
LCM(117,7900) = 924300 / 1
LCM(117,7900) = 924300
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
