Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 364/968,842/161
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 364,842
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 364,842 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 968,161 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 968,161 is 155848 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 364,842
2 | 364, 842 |
182, 421 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,7,13,14,26,28,52,91,182,364
Factors of 842
List of positive integer factors of 842 that divides 842 without a remainder.
1,2,421,842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 364,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 364,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/155848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 364/968,842/161 is 2/155848
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 968,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,161) = ( 968 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(968,161) = 155848 / 1
LCM(968,161) = 155848
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
