Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 212/304,621/118
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 212,621
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 212,621 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 304,118 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 304,118 is 17936 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 212,621
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,53,106,212
Factors of 621
List of positive integer factors of 621 that divides 621 without a remainder.
1,3,9,23,27,69,207,621
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,621 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,621 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,118
2 | 304, 118 |
152, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 152 x 59 = 17936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/304,621/118 is 1/17936
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 304,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(304,118) = ( 304 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(304,118) = 35872 / 2
LCM(304,118) = 17936
