Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 957/56,173/348
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 957,173
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 957,173 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,348 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,348 is 4872 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 957,173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 173
List of positive integer factors of 173 that divides 173 without a remainder.
1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 957,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,348
2 | 56, 348 |
2 | 28, 174 |
14, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 14 x 87 = 4872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/56,173/348 is 1/4872
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 56,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,348) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,348) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(56,348) = ( 56 × 348 ) / 4
LCM(56,348) = 19488 / 4
LCM(56,348) = 4872
