Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 849/16,688/506
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 849,688
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 849,688 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,506 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,506 is 4048 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 849,688
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,283,849
Factors of 688
List of positive integer factors of 688 that divides 688 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,43,86,172,344,688
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 849,688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 849,688 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,506
2 | 16, 506 |
8, 253 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 253 = 4048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 849/16,688/506 is 1/4048
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 16,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,506) = ( 16 × 506 ) / 2
LCM(16,506) = 8096 / 2
LCM(16,506) = 4048
