Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 532/16,2793/781
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 532,2793
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 532,2793 is 133 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,781 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,781 is 12496 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 532,2793
7 | 532, 2793 |
19 | 76, 399 |
4, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 19 = 133

1,3,7,19,21,49,57,133,147,399,931,2793
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 532,2793 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 532,2793 is 133.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 133/12496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/16,2793/781 is 133/12496
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 16,781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,781) = ( 16 × 781 ) / 1
LCM(16,781) = 12496 / 1
LCM(16,781) = 12496
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
