Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 238/46,112/424
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 238,112
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 238,112 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,424 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,424 is 9752 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 238,112
2 | 238, 112 |
7 | 119, 56 |
17, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,56,112
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 238,112 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 238,112 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,424
2 | 46, 424 |
23, 212 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 212 = 9752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/9752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 238/46,112/424 is 14/9752
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 46,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,424) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,424) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,424) = ( 46 × 424 ) / 2
LCM(46,424) = 19504 / 2
LCM(46,424) = 9752
