Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 906/40,1546/961
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 906,1546
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 906,1546 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,961 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,961 is 38440 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 906,1546
2 | 906, 1546 |
453, 773 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 1546
List of positive integer factors of 1546 that divides 1546 without a remainder.
1,2,773,1546
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 906,1546 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 906,1546 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 906/40,1546/961 is 2/38440
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 40,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,961) = ( 40 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(40,961) = 38440 / 1
LCM(40,961) = 38440
