Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 202/24,5311/424
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 202,5311
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 202,5311 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,424 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,424 is 1272 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 202,5311
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,101,202
Factors of 5311
List of positive integer factors of 5311 that divides 5311 without a remainder.
1,47,113,5311
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 202,5311 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 202,5311 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,424
2 | 24, 424 |
2 | 12, 212 |
2 | 6, 106 |
3, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 53 = 1272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 202/24,5311/424 is 1/1272
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 24,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,424) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,424) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(24,424) = ( 24 × 424 ) / 8
LCM(24,424) = 10176 / 8
LCM(24,424) = 1272
