Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 861/71,8718/443
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 861,8718
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 861,8718 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,443 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,443 is 31453 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 861,8718
3 | 861, 8718 |
287, 2906 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,6,1453,2906,4359,8718
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 861,8718 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 861,8718 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,443
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31453
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/31453
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/71,8718/443 is 3/31453
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 71,443 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,443) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,443) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,443) = ( 71 × 443 ) / 1
LCM(71,443) = 31453 / 1
LCM(71,443) = 31453
