Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 803/938,949/359
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 803,949
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 803,949 is 73 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 938,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 938,359 is 336742 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 803,949
73 | 803, 949 |
11, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 73 = 73

List of positive integer factors of 803 that divides 803 without a remainder.
1,11,73,803
Factors of 949
List of positive integer factors of 949 that divides 949 without a remainder.
1,13,73,949
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 803,949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 803,949 is 73.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 73/336742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 803/938,949/359 is 73/336742
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 938,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,359) = ( 938 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(938,359) = 336742 / 1
LCM(938,359) = 336742
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
