Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 437/847,258/473
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 437,258
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 437,258 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 847,473 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 847,473 is 36421 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 437,258
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 258
List of positive integer factors of 258 that divides 258 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,258 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,473
11 | 847, 473 |
77, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 77 x 43 = 36421
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36421
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/847,258/473 is 1/36421
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 847,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,473) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,473) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(847,473) = ( 847 × 473 ) / 11
LCM(847,473) = 400631 / 11
LCM(847,473) = 36421
