Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 186/79,434/4342
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 186,434
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 186,434 is 62 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,4342 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,4342 is 343018 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 186,434
2 | 186, 434 |
31 | 93, 217 |
3, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 31 = 62

1,2,3,6,31,62,93,186
Factors of 434
List of positive integer factors of 434 that divides 434 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,31,62,217,434
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,434 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,434 is 62.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,4342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 343018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 62/343018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/79,434/4342 is 62/343018
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 79,4342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,4342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,4342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,4342) = ( 79 × 4342 ) / 1
LCM(79,4342) = 343018 / 1
LCM(79,4342) = 343018
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
