Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 954/26,957/169
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 954,957
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 954,957 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,169 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,169 is 338 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 954,957
3 | 954, 957 |
318, 319 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 957
List of positive integer factors of 957 that divides 957 without a remainder.
1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 954,957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 954,957 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,169
13 | 26, 169 |
2, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 2 x 13 = 338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/26,957/169 is 3/338
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 26,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,169) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,169) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(26,169) = ( 26 × 169 ) / 13
LCM(26,169) = 4394 / 13
LCM(26,169) = 338
