Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 219/32,8611/496
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 219,8611
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 219,8611 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,496 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,496 is 992 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 219,8611
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 219

1,3,73,219
Factors of 8611
List of positive integer factors of 8611 that divides 8611 without a remainder.
1,79,109,8611
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 219,8611 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 219,8611 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,496
2 | 32, 496 |
2 | 16, 248 |
2 | 8, 124 |
2 | 4, 62 |
2, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 = 992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 219/32,8611/496 is 1/992
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 32,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,496) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,496) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(32,496) = ( 32 × 496 ) / 16
LCM(32,496) = 15872 / 16
LCM(32,496) = 992
