Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 850/409,958/430
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 850,958
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 850,958 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 409,430 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 409,430 is 175870 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 850,958
2 | 850, 958 |
425, 479 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 958
List of positive integer factors of 958 that divides 958 without a remainder.
1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,430
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/175870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/409,958/430 is 2/175870
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 409,430 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,430) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,430) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,430) = ( 409 × 430 ) / 1
LCM(409,430) = 175870 / 1
LCM(409,430) = 175870
