Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 903/182,471/548
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 903,471
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 903,471 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 182,548 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 182,548 is 49868 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 903,471
3 | 903, 471 |

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 903,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 903,471 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 182,548
2 | 182, 548 |
91, 274 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 91 x 274 = 49868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/49868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 903/182,471/548 is 3/49868
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 182,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,548) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(182,548) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(182,548) = ( 182 × 548 ) / 2
LCM(182,548) = 99736 / 2
LCM(182,548) = 49868
