Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 937/16,123/842
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 937,123
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 937,123 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,842 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,842 is 6736 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 937,123
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,937
Factors of 123
List of positive integer factors of 123 that divides 123 without a remainder.
1,3,41,123
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 937,123 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 937,123 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,842
2 | 16, 842 |
8, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 421 = 6736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 937/16,123/842 is 1/6736
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 16,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,842) = ( 16 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(16,842) = 13472 / 2
LCM(16,842) = 6736
