Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 962/52,741/946
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 962,741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 962,741 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,946 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,946 is 24596 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 962,741
13 | 962, 741 |

1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 962,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 962,741 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,946
2 | 52, 946 |
26, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 26 x 473 = 24596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/24596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/52,741/946 is 13/24596
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 52,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(52,946) = ( 52 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(52,946) = 49192 / 2
LCM(52,946) = 24596
