Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 903/86,201/438
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 903,201
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 903,201 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,438 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,438 is 18834 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 903,201
3 | 903, 201 |
301, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 201
List of positive integer factors of 201 that divides 201 without a remainder.
1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 903,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 903,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,438
2 | 86, 438 |
43, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 219 = 18834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 903/86,201/438 is 3/18834
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 86,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,438) = ( 86 × 438 ) / 2
LCM(86,438) = 37668 / 2
LCM(86,438) = 18834
