Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 646/21,178/7979
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 646,178
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 646,178 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,7979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,7979 is 167559 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 646,178
2 | 646, 178 |
323, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 646,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 646,178 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,7979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/167559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 646/21,178/7979 is 2/167559
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 21,7979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,7979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,7979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,7979) = ( 21 × 7979 ) / 1
LCM(21,7979) = 167559 / 1
LCM(21,7979) = 167559
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
