Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3971/70,4143/268
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 3971,4143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3971,4143 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,268 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,268 is 9380 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3971,4143
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 4143
List of positive integer factors of 4143 that divides 4143 without a remainder.
1,3,1381,4143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3971,4143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3971,4143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,268
2 | 70, 268 |
35, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 134 = 9380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3971/70,4143/268 is 1/9380
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 70,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,268) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,268) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,268) = ( 70 × 268 ) / 2
LCM(70,268) = 18760 / 2
LCM(70,268) = 9380
