Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 236/19,400/1346
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 236,400
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 236,400 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,1346 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,1346 is 25574 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 236,400
2 | 236, 400 |
2 | 118, 200 |
59, 100 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

List of positive integer factors of 236 that divides 236 without a remainder.
1,2,4,59,118,236
Factors of 400
List of positive integer factors of 400 that divides 400 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,200,400
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,400 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,1346
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/25574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/19,400/1346 is 4/25574
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 19,1346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,1346) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,1346) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,1346) = ( 19 × 1346 ) / 1
LCM(19,1346) = 25574 / 1
LCM(19,1346) = 25574
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
