Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 189/802,3421/832
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 189,3421
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 189,3421 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 802,832 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 802,832 is 333632 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 189,3421
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 189 that divides 189 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Factors of 3421
List of positive integer factors of 3421 that divides 3421 without a remainder.
1,11,311,3421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 189,3421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 189,3421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 802,832
2 | 802, 832 |
401, 416 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 416 = 333632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/333632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/802,3421/832 is 1/333632
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 802,832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,832) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,832) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,832) = ( 802 × 832 ) / 2
LCM(802,832) = 667264 / 2
LCM(802,832) = 333632
