Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 916/19,504/721
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 916,504
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 916,504 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,721 is 13699 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 916,504
2 | 916, 504 |
2 | 458, 252 |
229, 126 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 504
List of positive integer factors of 504 that divides 504 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,12,14,18,21,24,28,36,42,56,63,72,84,126,168,252,504
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 916,504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 916,504 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13699
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/13699
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 916/19,504/721 is 4/13699
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 19,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,721) = ( 19 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(19,721) = 13699 / 1
LCM(19,721) = 13699
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
