Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 759/16,187/460
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 759,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 759,187 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,460 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,460 is 1840 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 759,187
11 | 759, 187 |
69, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 759,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 759,187 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,460
2 | 16, 460 |
2 | 8, 230 |
4, 115 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 115 = 1840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/1840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 759/16,187/460 is 11/1840
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 16,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,460) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,460) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(16,460) = ( 16 × 460 ) / 4
LCM(16,460) = 7360 / 4
LCM(16,460) = 1840
