Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 859/167,1904/878
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 859,1904
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 859,1904 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 167,878 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 167,878 is 146626 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 859,1904
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,859
Factors of 1904
List of positive integer factors of 1904 that divides 1904 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,17,28,34,56,68,112,119,136,238,272,476,952,1904
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 859,1904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 859,1904 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 167,878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/146626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 859/167,1904/878 is 1/146626
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 167,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,878) = ( 167 × 878 ) / 1
LCM(167,878) = 146626 / 1
LCM(167,878) = 146626
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
