Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 224/44,932/881
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 224,932
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 224,932 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,881 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,881 is 38764 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 224,932
2 | 224, 932 |
2 | 112, 466 |
56, 233 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,112,224
Factors of 932
List of positive integer factors of 932 that divides 932 without a remainder.
1,2,4,233,466,932
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,932 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,932 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/38764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/44,932/881 is 4/38764
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 44,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,881) = ( 44 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(44,881) = 38764 / 1
LCM(44,881) = 38764
