Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 737/877,836/987
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 737,836
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 737,836 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 877,987 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 877,987 is 865599 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 737,836
11 | 737, 836 |
67, 76 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

1,2,4,11,19,22,38,44,76,209,418,836
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,836 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,836 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 865599
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/865599
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/877,836/987 is 11/865599
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 877,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,987) = ( 877 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(877,987) = 865599 / 1
LCM(877,987) = 865599
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
