Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 206/521,714/355
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 206,714
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 206,714 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 521,355 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 521,355 is 184955 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 206,714
2 | 206, 714 |
103, 357 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,7,14,17,21,34,42,51,102,119,238,357,714
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 206,714 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 206,714 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,355
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 184955
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/184955
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/521,714/355 is 2/184955
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 521,355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,355) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,355) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,355) = ( 521 × 355 ) / 1
LCM(521,355) = 184955 / 1
LCM(521,355) = 184955
