Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 954/873,144/838
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 954,144
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 954,144 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 873,838 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 873,838 is 731574 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 954,144
2 | 954, 144 |
3 | 477, 72 |
3 | 159, 24 |
53, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 954,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 954,144 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,838
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 731574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/731574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/873,144/838 is 18/731574
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 873,838 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,838) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,838) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,838) = ( 873 × 838 ) / 1
LCM(873,838) = 731574 / 1
LCM(873,838) = 731574
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
