Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2246/81,1355/396
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 2246,1355
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2246,1355 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,396 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,396 is 3564 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2246,1355
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 1355 that divides 1355 without a remainder.
1,5,271,1355
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2246,1355 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2246,1355 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,396
3 | 81, 396 |
3 | 27, 132 |
9, 44 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 9 x 44 = 3564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2246/81,1355/396 is 1/3564
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 81,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,396) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,396) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(81,396) = ( 81 × 396 ) / 9
LCM(81,396) = 32076 / 9
LCM(81,396) = 3564
