Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 904/12,170/883
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 904,170
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 904,170 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,883 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,883 is 10596 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 904,170
2 | 904, 170 |
452, 85 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 904 that divides 904 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,113,226,452,904
Factors of 170
List of positive integer factors of 170 that divides 170 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,17,34,85,170
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 904,170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 904,170 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,883
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 904/12,170/883 is 2/10596
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 12,883 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,883) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,883) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,883) = ( 12 × 883 ) / 1
LCM(12,883) = 10596 / 1
LCM(12,883) = 10596
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
