Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4736/21,9995/174
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 4736,9995
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4736,9995 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,174 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,174 is 1218 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4736,9995
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 9995
List of positive integer factors of 9995 that divides 9995 without a remainder.
1,5,1999,9995
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4736,9995 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4736,9995 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,174
3 | 21, 174 |
7, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 58 = 1218
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1218
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4736/21,9995/174 is 1/1218
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 21,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,174) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,174) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,174) = ( 21 × 174 ) / 3
LCM(21,174) = 3654 / 3
LCM(21,174) = 1218
