Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 942/36,507/761
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 942,507
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 942,507 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,761 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,761 is 27396 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 942,507
3 | 942, 507 |
314, 169 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 507
List of positive integer factors of 507 that divides 507 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,169,507
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 942,507 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 942,507 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/27396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/36,507/761 is 3/27396
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 36,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,761) = ( 36 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(36,761) = 27396 / 1
LCM(36,761) = 27396
