Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 868/137,170/754
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 868,170
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 868,170 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 137,754 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 137,754 is 103298 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 868,170
2 | 868, 170 |
434, 85 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,7,14,28,31,62,124,217,434,868
Factors of 170
List of positive integer factors of 170 that divides 170 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,17,34,85,170
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 868,170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 868,170 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,754
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/103298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 868/137,170/754 is 2/103298
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 137,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,754) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,754) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,754) = ( 137 × 754 ) / 1
LCM(137,754) = 103298 / 1
LCM(137,754) = 103298
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
