Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 946/657,1901/744
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 946,1901
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 946,1901 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 657,744 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 657,744 is 162936 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 946,1901
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1901
List of positive integer factors of 1901 that divides 1901 without a remainder.
1,1901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 946,1901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 946,1901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 657,744
3 | 657, 744 |
219, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 219 x 248 = 162936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/162936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 946/657,1901/744 is 1/162936
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 657,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,744) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,744) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(657,744) = ( 657 × 744 ) / 3
LCM(657,744) = 488808 / 3
LCM(657,744) = 162936
