Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 83/320,859/762
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 83,859
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 83,859 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 320,762 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 320,762 is 121920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,859
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 83

1,83
Factors of 859
List of positive integer factors of 859 that divides 859 without a remainder.
1,859
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,859 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,762
2 | 320, 762 |
160, 381 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 160 x 381 = 121920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/121920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/320,859/762 is 1/121920
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 320,762 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,762) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,762) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(320,762) = ( 320 × 762 ) / 2
LCM(320,762) = 243840 / 2
LCM(320,762) = 121920
