Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 404/72,747/8852
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 404,747
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 404,747 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,8852 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,8852 is 159336 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 404,747
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,83,249,747
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,747 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,8852
2 | 72, 8852 |
2 | 36, 4426 |
18, 2213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 18 x 2213 = 159336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/72,747/8852 is 1/159336
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 72,8852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,8852) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,8852) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(72,8852) = ( 72 × 8852 ) / 4
LCM(72,8852) = 637344 / 4
LCM(72,8852) = 159336
