Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 957/115,1421/981
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 957,1421
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 957,1421 is 29 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 115,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 115,981 is 112815 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 957,1421
29 | 957, 1421 |
33, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 29 = 29

1,7,29,49,203,1421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 957,1421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,1421 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/112815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/115,1421/981 is 29/112815
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 115,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(115,981) = ( 115 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(115,981) = 112815 / 1
LCM(115,981) = 112815
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
