Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 82/178,984/327
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 82,984
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 82,984 is 82 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 178,327 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 178,327 is 58206 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 82,984
2 | 82, 984 |
41 | 41, 492 |
1, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 41 = 82

1,2,41,82
Factors of 984
List of positive integer factors of 984 that divides 984 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,41,82,123,164,246,328,492,984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 82,984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 82,984 is 82.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,327
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 82/58206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/178,984/327 is 82/58206
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 178,327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,327) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,327) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,327) = ( 178 × 327 ) / 1
LCM(178,327) = 58206 / 1
LCM(178,327) = 58206
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
