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 972,432
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 972,432 is 108 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 848,933 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 848,933 is 791184 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 972,432
2 | 972, 432 |
2 | 486, 216 |
3 | 243, 108 |
3 | 81, 36 |
3 | 27, 12 |
9, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 108

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,36,48,54,72,108,144,216,432
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 972,432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 972,432 is 108.
Lets's calculate LCM of 848,933
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 791184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 108/791184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/848,432/933 is 108/791184
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 848,933 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,933) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,933) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(848,933) = ( 848 × 933 ) / 1
LCM(848,933) = 791184 / 1
LCM(848,933) = 791184
