Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 43/176,832/156
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 43,832
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 43,832 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 176,156 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 176,156 is 6864 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 43,832
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,43
Factors of 832
List of positive integer factors of 832 that divides 832 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,13,16,26,32,52,64,104,208,416,832
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,832 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,832 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,156
2 | 176, 156 |
2 | 88, 78 |
44, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 44 x 39 = 6864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/176,832/156 is 1/6864
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 176,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,156) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,156) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(176,156) = ( 176 × 156 ) / 4
LCM(176,156) = 27456 / 4
LCM(176,156) = 6864
