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 132,4212
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 132,4212 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 107,476 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 107,476 is 50932 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 132,4212
2 | 132, 4212 |
2 | 66, 2106 |
3 | 33, 1053 |
11, 351 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,4212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,4212 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 107,476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/50932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/107,4212/476 is 12/50932
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 107,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(107,476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(107,476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(107,476) = ( 107 × 476 ) / 1
LCM(107,476) = 50932 / 1
LCM(107,476) = 50932
