Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7221/54,1466/939
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 7221,1466
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7221,1466 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,939 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,939 is 16902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7221,1466
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,29,83,87,249,2407,7221
Factors of 1466
List of positive integer factors of 1466 that divides 1466 without a remainder.
1,2,733,1466
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7221,1466 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7221,1466 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,939
3 | 54, 939 |
18, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 18 x 313 = 16902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7221/54,1466/939 is 1/16902
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 54,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,939) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,939) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(54,939) = ( 54 × 939 ) / 3
LCM(54,939) = 50706 / 3
LCM(54,939) = 16902
