Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 892/876,716/401
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 892,716
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 892,716 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 876,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 876,401 is 351276 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 892,716
2 | 892, 716 |
2 | 446, 358 |
223, 179 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 716
List of positive integer factors of 716 that divides 716 without a remainder.
1,2,4,179,358,716
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 892,716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 892,716 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 876,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 351276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/351276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 892/876,716/401 is 4/351276
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 876,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,401) = ( 876 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(876,401) = 351276 / 1
LCM(876,401) = 351276
