Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 921/49,3609/505
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 921,3609
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 921,3609 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,505 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,505 is 24745 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 921,3609
3 | 921, 3609 |
307, 1203 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 3609
List of positive integer factors of 3609 that divides 3609 without a remainder.
1,3,9,401,1203,3609
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 921,3609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 921,3609 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/24745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 921/49,3609/505 is 3/24745
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 49,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,505) = ( 49 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(49,505) = 24745 / 1
LCM(49,505) = 24745
