Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 864/71,4596/873
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 864,4596
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 864,4596 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,873 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,873 is 61983 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 864,4596
2 | 864, 4596 |
2 | 432, 2298 |
3 | 216, 1149 |
72, 383 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 864,4596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 864,4596 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61983
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/61983
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 864/71,4596/873 is 12/61983
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 71,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,873) = ( 71 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(71,873) = 61983 / 1
LCM(71,873) = 61983
