Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2234/15,3867/141
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 2234,3867
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2234,3867 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,141 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,141 is 705 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2234,3867
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 2234 that divides 2234 without a remainder.
1,2,1117,2234
Factors of 3867
List of positive integer factors of 3867 that divides 3867 without a remainder.
1,3,1289,3867
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2234,3867 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2234,3867 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,141
3 | 15, 141 |
5, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 47 = 705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2234/15,3867/141 is 1/705
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 15,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,141) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,141) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,141) = ( 15 × 141 ) / 3
LCM(15,141) = 2115 / 3
LCM(15,141) = 705
