Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 450/20,837/587
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 450,837
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 450,837 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,587 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,587 is 11740 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 450,837
3 | 450, 837 |
3 | 150, 279 |
50, 93 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 450,837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 450,837 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/11740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/20,837/587 is 9/11740
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 20,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,587) = ( 20 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(20,587) = 11740 / 1
LCM(20,587) = 11740
