Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/424,852/789
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 52,852
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,852 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 424,789 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 424,789 is 334536 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,852
2 | 52, 852 |
2 | 26, 426 |
13, 213 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 52

1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 852
List of positive integer factors of 852 that divides 852 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,71,142,213,284,426,852
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,852 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,852 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 424,789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 334536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/334536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/424,852/789 is 4/334536
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 424,789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,789) = ( 424 × 789 ) / 1
LCM(424,789) = 334536 / 1
LCM(424,789) = 334536
