Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 401/437,6941/782
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 401,6941
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 401,6941 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 437,782 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 437,782 is 14858 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 401,6941
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,11,631,6941
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 401,6941 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 401,6941 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 437,782
23 | 437, 782 |
19, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 19 x 34 = 14858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/437,6941/782 is 1/14858
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 437,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,782) = 23
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,782) x common factors =23 x 1 = 23
LCM(437,782) = ( 437 × 782 ) / 23
LCM(437,782) = 341734 / 23
LCM(437,782) = 14858
