Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 776/246,587/840
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 776,587
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 776,587 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 246,840 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 246,840 is 34440 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 776,587
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 587
List of positive integer factors of 587 that divides 587 without a remainder.
1,587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 776,587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 776,587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,840
2 | 246, 840 |
3 | 123, 420 |
41, 140 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 140 = 34440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 776/246,587/840 is 1/34440
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 246,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,840) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,840) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(246,840) = ( 246 × 840 ) / 6
LCM(246,840) = 206640 / 6
LCM(246,840) = 34440
