Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 861/42,1748/133
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 861,1748
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 861,1748 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,133 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,133 is 798 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 861,1748
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 861,1748 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 861,1748 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,133
7 | 42, 133 |
6, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 6 x 19 = 798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/42,1748/133 is 1/798
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 42,133 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,133) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,133) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(42,133) = ( 42 × 133 ) / 7
LCM(42,133) = 5586 / 7
LCM(42,133) = 798
