Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 233/60,738/4200
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 233,738
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 233,738 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,4200 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,4200 is 4200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 233,738
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 233,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 233,738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,4200
2 | 60, 4200 |
2 | 30, 2100 |
3 | 15, 1050 |
5 | 5, 350 |
1, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 70 = 4200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 233/60,738/4200 is 1/4200
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 60,4200 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,4200) = 60
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,4200) x common factors =60 x 1 = 60
LCM(60,4200) = ( 60 × 4200 ) / 60
LCM(60,4200) = 252000 / 60
LCM(60,4200) = 4200
