Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 232/127,646/368
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 232,646
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 232,646 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 127,368 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 127,368 is 46736 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 232,646
2 | 232, 646 |
116, 323 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Factors of 646
List of positive integer factors of 646 that divides 646 without a remainder.
1,2,17,19,34,38,323,646
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 232,646 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 232,646 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 127,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/127,646/368 is 2/46736
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 127,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(127,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(127,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(127,368) = ( 127 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(127,368) = 46736 / 1
LCM(127,368) = 46736
