Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 954/29,950/956
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 954,950
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 954,950 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,956 is 27724 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 954,950
2 | 954, 950 |
477, 475 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 950
List of positive integer factors of 950 that divides 950 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,19,25,38,50,95,190,475,950
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 954,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 954,950 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/29,950/956 is 2/27724
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 29,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,956) = ( 29 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(29,956) = 27724 / 1
LCM(29,956) = 27724
