Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 851/696,842/132
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 851,842
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 851,842 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 696,132 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 696,132 is 7656 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 851,842
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 842
List of positive integer factors of 842 that divides 842 without a remainder.
1,2,421,842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 851,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 851,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 696,132
2 | 696, 132 |
2 | 348, 66 |
3 | 174, 33 |
58, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 58 x 11 = 7656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 851/696,842/132 is 1/7656
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 696,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(696,132) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(696,132) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(696,132) = ( 696 × 132 ) / 12
LCM(696,132) = 91872 / 12
LCM(696,132) = 7656
