Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 867/31,2278/557
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 867,2278
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 867,2278 is 17 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,557 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,557 is 17267 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 867,2278
17 | 867, 2278 |
51, 134 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17

Factors of 2278
List of positive integer factors of 2278 that divides 2278 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34,67,134,1139,2278
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 867,2278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 867,2278 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17267
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/17267
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/31,2278/557 is 17/17267
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 31,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,557) = ( 31 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(31,557) = 17267 / 1
LCM(31,557) = 17267
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
