Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 819/50,462/949
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 819,462
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 819,462 is 21 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,949 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,949 is 47450 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 819,462
3 | 819, 462 |
7 | 273, 154 |
39, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 7 = 21

1,3,7,9,13,21,39,63,91,117,273,819
Factors of 462
List of positive integer factors of 462 that divides 462 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,11,14,21,22,33,42,66,77,154,231,462
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 819,462 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 819,462 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/47450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 819/50,462/949 is 21/47450
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 50,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,949) = ( 50 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(50,949) = 47450 / 1
LCM(50,949) = 47450
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
