Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 242/52,3860/805
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 242,3860
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 242,3860 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,805 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,805 is 41860 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 242,3860
2 | 242, 3860 |
121, 1930 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 3860
List of positive integer factors of 3860 that divides 3860 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,193,386,772,965,1930,3860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 242,3860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,3860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,805
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/52,3860/805 is 2/41860
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 52,805 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,805) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,805) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,805) = ( 52 × 805 ) / 1
LCM(52,805) = 41860 / 1
LCM(52,805) = 41860
