Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 230/91,608/3940
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 230,608
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 230,608 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 91,3940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 91,3940 is 358540 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 230,608
2 | 230, 608 |
115, 304 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,5,10,23,46,115,230
Factors of 608
List of positive integer factors of 608 that divides 608 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,19,32,38,76,152,304,608
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 230,608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 230,608 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,3940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 358540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/358540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/91,608/3940 is 2/358540
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 91,3940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,3940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,3940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(91,3940) = ( 91 × 3940 ) / 1
LCM(91,3940) = 358540 / 1
LCM(91,3940) = 358540
