Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 214/79,616/424
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 214,616
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 214,616 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,424 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,424 is 33496 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 214,616
2 | 214, 616 |
107, 308 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,107,214
Factors of 616
List of positive integer factors of 616 that divides 616 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,11,14,22,28,44,56,77,88,154,308,616
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 214,616 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 214,616 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,424
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/79,616/424 is 2/33496
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 79,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,424) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,424) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,424) = ( 79 × 424 ) / 1
LCM(79,424) = 33496 / 1
LCM(79,424) = 33496
