Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 906/173,873/116
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 906,873
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 906,873 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,116 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,116 is 20068 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 906,873
3 | 906, 873 |
302, 291 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 906 that divides 906 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,151,302,453,906
Factors of 873
List of positive integer factors of 873 that divides 873 without a remainder.
1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 906,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 906,873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 906/173,873/116 is 3/20068
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 173,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,116) = ( 173 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(173,116) = 20068 / 1
LCM(173,116) = 20068
