Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 831/16,7038/123
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 831,7038
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 831,7038 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,123 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,123 is 1968 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 831,7038
3 | 831, 7038 |
277, 2346 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 7038
List of positive integer factors of 7038 that divides 7038 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,17,18,23,34,46,51,69,102,138,153,207,306,391,414,782,1173,2346,3519,7038
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 831,7038 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 831,7038 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,123
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/16,7038/123 is 3/1968
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 16,123 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,123) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,123) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,123) = ( 16 × 123 ) / 1
LCM(16,123) = 1968 / 1
LCM(16,123) = 1968
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
