Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 950/35,4406/878
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 950,4406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 950,4406 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,878 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,878 is 30730 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 950,4406
2 | 950, 4406 |
475, 2203 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,5,10,19,25,38,50,95,190,475,950
Factors of 4406
List of positive integer factors of 4406 that divides 4406 without a remainder.
1,2,2203,4406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,4406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,4406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/35,4406/878 is 2/30730
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 35,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,878) = ( 35 × 878 ) / 1
LCM(35,878) = 30730 / 1
LCM(35,878) = 30730
