Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 794/86,9608/400
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 794,9608
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 794,9608 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,400 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,400 is 17200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 794,9608
2 | 794, 9608 |
397, 4804 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 9608
List of positive integer factors of 9608 that divides 9608 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,1201,2402,4804,9608
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 794,9608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 794,9608 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,400
2 | 86, 400 |
43, 200 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 200 = 17200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/86,9608/400 is 2/17200
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 86,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,400) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,400) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,400) = ( 86 × 400 ) / 2
LCM(86,400) = 34400 / 2
LCM(86,400) = 17200
