Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1844/221,3814/879
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 1844,3814
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1844,3814 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 221,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 221,879 is 194259 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1844,3814
2 | 1844, 3814 |
922, 1907 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 3814
List of positive integer factors of 3814 that divides 3814 without a remainder.
1,2,1907,3814
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1844,3814 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1844,3814 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194259
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/194259
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1844/221,3814/879 is 2/194259
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 221,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,879) = ( 221 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(221,879) = 194259 / 1
LCM(221,879) = 194259
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
