Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 879/36,6673/456
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 879,6673
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 879,6673 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,456 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,456 is 1368 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 879,6673
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,293,879
Factors of 6673
List of positive integer factors of 6673 that divides 6673 without a remainder.
1,6673
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 879,6673 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 879,6673 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,456
2 | 36, 456 |
2 | 18, 228 |
3 | 9, 114 |
3, 38 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 38 = 1368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 879/36,6673/456 is 1/1368
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 36,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,456) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,456) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(36,456) = ( 36 × 456 ) / 12
LCM(36,456) = 16416 / 12
LCM(36,456) = 1368
