Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 978/41,1546/329
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 978,1546
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 978,1546 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,329 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,329 is 13489 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 978,1546
2 | 978, 1546 |
489, 773 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 1546
List of positive integer factors of 1546 that divides 1546 without a remainder.
1,2,773,1546
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 978,1546 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 978,1546 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,329
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13489
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13489
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/41,1546/329 is 2/13489
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 41,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,329) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,329) = ( 41 × 329 ) / 1
LCM(41,329) = 13489 / 1
LCM(41,329) = 13489
