Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 717/69,8637/972
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 717,8637
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 717,8637 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 69,972 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 69,972 is 22356 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 717,8637
3 | 717, 8637 |
239, 2879 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 717,8637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 717,8637 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,972
3 | 69, 972 |
23, 324 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 324 = 22356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/22356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/69,8637/972 is 3/22356
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 69,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,972) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,972) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,972) = ( 69 × 972 ) / 3
LCM(69,972) = 67068 / 3
LCM(69,972) = 22356
