Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 729/46,243/593
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 729,243
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 729,243 is 243 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,593 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,593 is 27278 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 729,243
3 | 729, 243 |
3 | 243, 81 |
3 | 27, 81 |
3 | 9, 27 |
3 | 3, 9 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243

List of positive integer factors of 729 that divides 729 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81,243,729
Factors of 243
List of positive integer factors of 243 that divides 243 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81,243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 729,243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 729,243 is 243.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 243/27278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 729/46,243/593 is 243/27278
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 46,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,593) = ( 46 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(46,593) = 27278 / 1
LCM(46,593) = 27278
