Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 504/78,501/944
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 504,501
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 504,501 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 78,944 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 78,944 is 36816 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 504,501
3 | 504, 501 |
168, 167 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,12,14,18,21,24,28,36,42,56,63,72,84,126,168,252,504
Factors of 501
List of positive integer factors of 501 that divides 501 without a remainder.
1,3,167,501
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,944
2 | 78, 944 |
39, 472 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 472 = 36816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/36816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/78,501/944 is 3/36816
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 78,944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,944) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,944) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,944) = ( 78 × 944 ) / 2
LCM(78,944) = 73632 / 2
LCM(78,944) = 36816
