Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 858/20,976/921
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 858,976
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 858,976 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,921 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,921 is 18420 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 858,976
2 | 858, 976 |
429, 488 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 976
List of positive integer factors of 976 that divides 976 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 858,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 858,976 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 858/20,976/921 is 2/18420
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 20,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,921) = ( 20 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(20,921) = 18420 / 1
LCM(20,921) = 18420
