Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 949/236,884/729
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 949,884
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 949,884 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 236,729 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 236,729 is 172044 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 949,884
13 | 949, 884 |
73, 68 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

1,2,4,13,17,26,34,52,68,221,442,884
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 949,884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 949,884 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/172044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/236,884/729 is 13/172044
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 236,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,729) = ( 236 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(236,729) = 172044 / 1
LCM(236,729) = 172044
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
