Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 8857/551,4267/908
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 8857,4267
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 8857,4267 is 17 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 551,908 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 551,908 is 500308 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 8857,4267
17 | 8857, 4267 |
521, 251 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17

1,17,521,8857
Factors of 4267
List of positive integer factors of 4267 that divides 4267 without a remainder.
1,17,251,4267
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8857,4267 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8857,4267 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,908
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 500308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/500308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8857/551,4267/908 is 17/500308
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 551,908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,908) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,908) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,908) = ( 551 × 908 ) / 1
LCM(551,908) = 500308 / 1
LCM(551,908) = 500308
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
