Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 221/67,2312/632
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 221,2312
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 221,2312 is 17 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 67,632 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 67,632 is 42344 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 221,2312
17 | 221, 2312 |
13, 136 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17

1,13,17,221
Factors of 2312
List of positive integer factors of 2312 that divides 2312 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,17,34,68,136,289,578,1156,2312
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 221,2312 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 221,2312 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/42344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 221/67,2312/632 is 17/42344
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 67,632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,632) = ( 67 × 632 ) / 1
LCM(67,632) = 42344 / 1
LCM(67,632) = 42344
