Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 734/87,659/279
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 734,659
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 734,659 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,279 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,279 is 8091 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 734,659
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 734

1,2,367,734
Factors of 659
List of positive integer factors of 659 that divides 659 without a remainder.
1,659
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 734,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 734,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,279
3 | 87, 279 |
29, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 93 = 8091
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8091
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 734/87,659/279 is 1/8091
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 87,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,279) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,279) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,279) = ( 87 × 279 ) / 3
LCM(87,279) = 24273 / 3
LCM(87,279) = 8091
