Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 183/224,3711/306
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 183,3711
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 183,3711 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 224,306 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 224,306 is 34272 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 183,3711
3 | 183, 3711 |

Factors of 3711
List of positive integer factors of 3711 that divides 3711 without a remainder.
1,3,1237,3711
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,3711 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,3711 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,306
2 | 224, 306 |
112, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 112 x 153 = 34272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/34272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/224,3711/306 is 3/34272
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 224,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(224,306) = ( 224 × 306 ) / 2
LCM(224,306) = 68544 / 2
LCM(224,306) = 34272
