Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2228/12,6964/931
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 2228,6964
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2228,6964 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,931 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,931 is 11172 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2228,6964
2 | 2228, 6964 |
2 | 1114, 3482 |
557, 1741 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 6964
List of positive integer factors of 6964 that divides 6964 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1741,3482,6964
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2228,6964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2228,6964 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/11172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2228/12,6964/931 is 4/11172
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 12,931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,931) = ( 12 × 931 ) / 1
LCM(12,931) = 11172 / 1
LCM(12,931) = 11172
