Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 236/15,2478/771
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 236,2478
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 236,2478 is 118 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,771 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,771 is 3855 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 236,2478
2 | 236, 2478 |
59 | 118, 1239 |
2, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 59 = 118

List of positive integer factors of 2478 that divides 2478 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,59,118,177,354,413,826,1239,2478
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,2478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,2478 is 118.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,771
3 | 15, 771 |
5, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 257 = 3855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 118/3855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/15,2478/771 is 118/3855
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 15,771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,771) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,771) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,771) = ( 15 × 771 ) / 3
LCM(15,771) = 11565 / 3
LCM(15,771) = 3855
