Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 486/86,1537/954
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 486,1537
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 486,1537 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,954 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,954 is 41022 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 486,1537
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Factors of 1537
List of positive integer factors of 1537 that divides 1537 without a remainder.
1,29,53,1537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 486,1537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 486,1537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,954
2 | 86, 954 |
43, 477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 477 = 41022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/86,1537/954 is 1/41022
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 86,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,954) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,954) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,954) = ( 86 × 954 ) / 2
LCM(86,954) = 82044 / 2
LCM(86,954) = 41022
