Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 741/27,143/173
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 741,143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 741,143 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,173 is 4671 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 741,143
13 | 741, 143 |
57, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

List of positive integer factors of 741 that divides 741 without a remainder.
1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 741,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 741,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4671
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/4671
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 741/27,143/173 is 13/4671
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 27,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,173) = ( 27 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(27,173) = 4671 / 1
LCM(27,173) = 4671
