Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 481/27,888/162
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 481,888
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 481,888 is 37 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,162 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,162 is 162 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 481,888
37 | 481, 888 |
13, 24 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 481,888 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 481,888 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,162
3 | 27, 162 |
3 | 9, 54 |
3 | 3, 18 |
1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 6 = 162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/27,888/162 is 37/162
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 27,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,162) = 27
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,162) x common factors =27 x 1 = 27
LCM(27,162) = ( 27 × 162 ) / 27
LCM(27,162) = 4374 / 27
LCM(27,162) = 162
