Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 224/621,1344/785
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 224,1344
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 224,1344 is 224 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 621,785 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 621,785 is 487485 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 224,1344
2 | 224, 1344 |
2 | 112, 672 |
2 | 56, 336 |
2 | 28, 168 |
2 | 14, 84 |
7 | 7, 42 |
1, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 224

Factors of 1344
List of positive integer factors of 1344 that divides 1344 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,32,42,48,56,64,84,96,112,168,192,224,336,448,672,1344
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,1344 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,1344 is 224.
Lets's calculate LCM of 621,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 487485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 224/487485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/621,1344/785 is 224/487485
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 621,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(621,785) = ( 621 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(621,785) = 487485 / 1
LCM(621,785) = 487485
