Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 867/253,9201/187
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 867,9201
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 867,9201 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 253,187 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 253,187 is 4301 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 867,9201
3 | 867, 9201 |
289, 3067 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 9201
List of positive integer factors of 9201 that divides 9201 without a remainder.
1,3,3067,9201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 867,9201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 867,9201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,187
11 | 253, 187 |
23, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 23 x 17 = 4301
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4301
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/253,9201/187 is 3/4301
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 253,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,187) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,187) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(253,187) = ( 253 × 187 ) / 11
LCM(253,187) = 47311 / 11
LCM(253,187) = 4301
