Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 876/558,2073/401
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 876,2073
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 876,2073 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 558,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 558,401 is 223758 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 876,2073
3 | 876, 2073 |
292, 691 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 2073
List of positive integer factors of 2073 that divides 2073 without a remainder.
1,3,691,2073
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 876,2073 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 876,2073 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/223758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/558,2073/401 is 3/223758
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 558,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(558,401) = ( 558 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(558,401) = 223758 / 1
LCM(558,401) = 223758
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
