Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 887/12,727/604
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 887,727
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 887,727 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,604 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,604 is 1812 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 887,727
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 887

1,887
Factors of 727
List of positive integer factors of 727 that divides 727 without a remainder.
1,727
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 887,727 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 887,727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,604
2 | 12, 604 |
2 | 6, 302 |
3, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 151 = 1812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 887/12,727/604 is 1/1812
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 12,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,604) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,604) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(12,604) = ( 12 × 604 ) / 4
LCM(12,604) = 7248 / 4
LCM(12,604) = 1812
