Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 950/231,8543/1078
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 950,8543
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 950,8543 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 231,1078 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 231,1078 is 3234 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 950,8543
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 8543
List of positive integer factors of 8543 that divides 8543 without a remainder.
1,8543
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,8543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,8543 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,1078
7 | 231, 1078 |
11 | 33, 154 |
3, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 11 x 3 x 14 = 3234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/231,8543/1078 is 1/3234
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 231,1078 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,1078) = 77
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,1078) x common factors =77 x 1 = 77
LCM(231,1078) = ( 231 × 1078 ) / 77
LCM(231,1078) = 249018 / 77
LCM(231,1078) = 3234
