Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 184/218,391/692
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 184,391
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 184,391 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 218,692 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 218,692 is 75428 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 184,391
23 | 184, 391 |

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 184,391 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 184,391 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,692
2 | 218, 692 |
109, 346 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 109 x 346 = 75428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/75428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 184/218,391/692 is 23/75428
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 218,692 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,692) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,692) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(218,692) = ( 218 × 692 ) / 2
LCM(218,692) = 150856 / 2
LCM(218,692) = 75428
