Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 194/231,970/836
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 194,970
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 194,970 is 194 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 231,836 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 231,836 is 17556 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 194,970
2 | 194, 970 |
97 | 97, 485 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 97 = 194

Factors of 970
List of positive integer factors of 970 that divides 970 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 194,970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 194,970 is 194.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,836
11 | 231, 836 |
21, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 21 x 76 = 17556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 194/17556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 194/231,970/836 is 194/17556
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 231,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,836) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,836) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(231,836) = ( 231 × 836 ) / 11
LCM(231,836) = 193116 / 11
LCM(231,836) = 17556
