Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 874/17,703/2426
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 874,703
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 874,703 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,2426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,2426 is 41242 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 874,703
19 | 874, 703 |
46, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19

1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Factors of 703
List of positive integer factors of 703 that divides 703 without a remainder.
1,19,37,703
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 874,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 874,703 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,2426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/41242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/17,703/2426 is 19/41242
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 17,2426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,2426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,2426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,2426) = ( 17 × 2426 ) / 1
LCM(17,2426) = 41242 / 1
LCM(17,2426) = 41242
