Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 903/47,3879/741
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 903,3879
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 903,3879 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,741 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,741 is 34827 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 903,3879
3 | 903, 3879 |
301, 1293 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 3879
List of positive integer factors of 3879 that divides 3879 without a remainder.
1,3,9,431,1293,3879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 903,3879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 903,3879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34827
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/34827
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 903/47,3879/741 is 3/34827
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 47,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,741) = ( 47 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(47,741) = 34827 / 1
LCM(47,741) = 34827
