Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 932/36,878/930
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 932,878
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 932,878 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,930 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,930 is 5580 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 932,878
2 | 932, 878 |
466, 439 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 878
List of positive integer factors of 878 that divides 878 without a remainder.
1,2,439,878
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 932,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 932,878 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,930
2 | 36, 930 |
3 | 18, 465 |
6, 155 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 6 x 155 = 5580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 932/36,878/930 is 2/5580
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 36,930 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,930) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,930) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(36,930) = ( 36 × 930 ) / 6
LCM(36,930) = 33480 / 6
LCM(36,930) = 5580
