Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/502,966/947
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 38,966
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,966 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 502,947 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 502,947 is 475394 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,966
2 | 38, 966 |
19, 483 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,19,38
Factors of 966
List of positive integer factors of 966 that divides 966 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,23,42,46,69,138,161,322,483,966
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,966 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,966 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 475394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/475394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/502,966/947 is 2/475394
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 502,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(502,947) = ( 502 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(502,947) = 475394 / 1
LCM(502,947) = 475394
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
