Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 98/123,840/167
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 98,840
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 98,840 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 123,167 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 123,167 is 20541 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 98,840
2 | 98, 840 |
7 | 49, 420 |
7, 60 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,840 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 123,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20541
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/20541
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/123,840/167 is 14/20541
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 123,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(123,167) = ( 123 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(123,167) = 20541 / 1
LCM(123,167) = 20541
