Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 471/29,2721/188
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 471,2721
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 471,2721 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,188 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,188 is 5452 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 471,2721
3 | 471, 2721 |
157, 907 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 2721
List of positive integer factors of 2721 that divides 2721 without a remainder.
1,3,907,2721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,2721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,2721 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/29,2721/188 is 3/5452
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 29,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,188) = ( 29 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(29,188) = 5452 / 1
LCM(29,188) = 5452
