Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 961/322,465/968
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 961,465
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 961,465 is 31 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 322,968 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 322,968 is 155848 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 961,465
31 | 961, 465 |
31, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31

1,3,5,15,31,93,155,465
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 961,465 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 961,465 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 322,968
2 | 322, 968 |
161, 484 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 161 x 484 = 155848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/155848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 961/322,465/968 is 31/155848
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 322,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(322,968) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(322,968) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(322,968) = ( 322 × 968 ) / 2
LCM(322,968) = 311696 / 2
LCM(322,968) = 155848
