Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 214/588,378/359
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 214,378
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 214,378 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 588,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 588,359 is 211092 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 214,378
2 | 214, 378 |

1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,27,42,54,63,126,189,378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 214,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 214,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 211092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/211092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/588,378/359 is 2/211092
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 588,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(588,359) = ( 588 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(588,359) = 211092 / 1
LCM(588,359) = 211092
