Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 946/15,143/356
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 946,143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 946,143 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,356 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,356 is 5340 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 946,143
11 | 946, 143 |
86, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 946,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 946,143 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,356
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/5340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 946/15,143/356 is 11/5340
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 15,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,356) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,356) = ( 15 × 356 ) / 1
LCM(15,356) = 5340 / 1
LCM(15,356) = 5340
