Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 108/446,132/238
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 108,132
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 108,132 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 446,238 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 446,238 is 53074 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 108,132
2 | 108, 132 |
2 | 54, 66 |
3 | 27, 33 |
9, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Factors of 132
List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 108,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 108,132 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 446,238
2 | 446, 238 |
223, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 223 x 119 = 53074
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/53074
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/446,132/238 is 12/53074
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 446,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(446,238) = ( 446 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(446,238) = 106148 / 2
LCM(446,238) = 53074
