Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 964/591,438/829
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 964,438
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 964,438 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 591,829 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 591,829 is 489939 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 964,438
2 | 964, 438 |
482, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,241,482,964
Factors of 438
List of positive integer factors of 438 that divides 438 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 964,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 964,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 591,829
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 489939
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/489939
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 964/591,438/829 is 2/489939
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 591,829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,829) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,829) = ( 591 × 829 ) / 1
LCM(591,829) = 489939 / 1
LCM(591,829) = 489939
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
