Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2052/73,8244/252
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 2052,8244
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2052,8244 is 36 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,252 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,252 is 18396 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2052,8244
2 | 2052, 8244 |
2 | 1026, 4122 |
3 | 513, 2061 |
3 | 171, 687 |
57, 229 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2052,8244 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2052,8244 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/18396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2052/73,8244/252 is 36/18396
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 73,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,252) = ( 73 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(73,252) = 18396 / 1
LCM(73,252) = 18396
