Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 431/171,1193/204
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 431,1193
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 431,1193 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 171,204 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 171,204 is 11628 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 431,1193

Factors of 1193
List of positive integer factors of 1193 that divides 1193 without a remainder.
1,1193
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 431,1193 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 431,1193 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,204
3 | 171, 204 |
57, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 68 = 11628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 431/171,1193/204 is 1/11628
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 171,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,204) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,204) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,204) = ( 171 × 204 ) / 3
LCM(171,204) = 34884 / 3
LCM(171,204) = 11628
