Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 226/73,4412/867
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 226,4412
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 226,4412 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,867 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,867 is 63291 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 226,4412
2 | 226, 4412 |
113, 2206 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 4412
List of positive integer factors of 4412 that divides 4412 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1103,2206,4412
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 226,4412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,4412 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,867
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63291
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/63291
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/73,4412/867 is 2/63291
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 73,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,867) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,867) = ( 73 × 867 ) / 1
LCM(73,867) = 63291 / 1
LCM(73,867) = 63291
