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 794,846
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 794,846 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 847,556 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 847,556 is 470932 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 794,846
2 | 794, 846 |
397, 423 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,397,794
Factors of 846
List of positive integer factors of 846 that divides 846 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,47,94,141,282,423,846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 794,846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 794,846 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 470932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/470932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/847,846/556 is 2/470932
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 847,556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,556) = ( 847 × 556 ) / 1
LCM(847,556) = 470932 / 1
LCM(847,556) = 470932
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
