Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 679/36,126/427
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 679,126
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 679,126 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,427 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,427 is 15372 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 679,126
7 | 679, 126 |
97, 18 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

List of positive integer factors of 679 that divides 679 without a remainder.
1,7,97,679
Factors of 126
List of positive integer factors of 126 that divides 126 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,63,126
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 679,126 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 679,126 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/15372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 679/36,126/427 is 7/15372
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 36,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,427) = ( 36 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(36,427) = 15372 / 1
LCM(36,427) = 15372
