Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 224/63,144/8688
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 224,144
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 224,144 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 63,8688 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 63,8688 is 182448 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 224,144
2 | 224, 144 |
2 | 112, 72 |
2 | 56, 36 |
2 | 28, 18 |
14, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,144 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,8688
3 | 63, 8688 |
21, 2896 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 21 x 2896 = 182448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/182448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/63,144/8688 is 16/182448
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 63,8688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,8688) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,8688) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(63,8688) = ( 63 × 8688 ) / 3
LCM(63,8688) = 547344 / 3
LCM(63,8688) = 182448
