Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 612/151,846/347
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 612,846
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 612,846 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 151,347 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 151,347 is 52397 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 612,846
2 | 612, 846 |
3 | 306, 423 |
3 | 102, 141 |
34, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

1,2,3,6,9,18,47,94,141,282,423,846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 612,846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 612,846 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 151,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/52397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 612/151,846/347 is 18/52397
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 151,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(151,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(151,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(151,347) = ( 151 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(151,347) = 52397 / 1
LCM(151,347) = 52397
