Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 959/362,9429/317
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 959,9429
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 959,9429 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 362,317 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 362,317 is 114754 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 959,9429
7 | 959, 9429 |
137, 1347 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

1,3,7,21,449,1347,3143,9429
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,9429 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,9429 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/114754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/362,9429/317 is 7/114754
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 362,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,317) = ( 362 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(362,317) = 114754 / 1
LCM(362,317) = 114754
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
