Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7974/11,4734/843
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 7974,4734
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7974,4734 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,843 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,843 is 9273 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7974,4734
2 | 7974, 4734 |
3 | 3987, 2367 |
3 | 1329, 789 |
443, 263 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7974,4734 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7974,4734 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,843
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9273
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/9273
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7974/11,4734/843 is 18/9273
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 11,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,843) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,843) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,843) = ( 11 × 843 ) / 1
LCM(11,843) = 9273 / 1
LCM(11,843) = 9273
