Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 855/33,432/103
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 855,432
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 855,432 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 33,103 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 33,103 is 3399 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 855,432
3 | 855, 432 |
3 | 285, 144 |
95, 48 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 855,432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 855,432 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3399
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/3399
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 855/33,432/103 is 9/3399
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 33,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,103) = ( 33 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(33,103) = 3399 / 1
LCM(33,103) = 3399
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
