Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 876/23,381/129
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 876,381
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 876,381 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,129 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,129 is 2967 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 876,381
3 | 876, 381 |
292, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 381
List of positive integer factors of 381 that divides 381 without a remainder.
1,3,127,381
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 876,381 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 876,381 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,129
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/23,381/129 is 3/2967
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 23,129 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,129) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,129) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,129) = ( 23 × 129 ) / 1
LCM(23,129) = 2967 / 1
LCM(23,129) = 2967
