Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 837/391,576/100
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 837,576
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 837,576 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 391,100 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 391,100 is 39100 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 837,576
3 | 837, 576 |
3 | 279, 192 |
93, 64 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 837,576 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 837,576 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 391,100
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/39100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 837/391,576/100 is 9/39100
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 391,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,100) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,100) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,100) = ( 391 × 100 ) / 1
LCM(391,100) = 39100 / 1
LCM(391,100) = 39100
