Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 242/59,294/6019
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 242,294
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 242,294 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,6019 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,6019 is 355121 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 242,294
2 | 242, 294 |
121, 147 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,11,22,121,242
Factors of 294
List of positive integer factors of 294 that divides 294 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 242,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,6019
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 355121
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/355121
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/59,294/6019 is 2/355121
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 59,6019 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,6019) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,6019) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,6019) = ( 59 × 6019 ) / 1
LCM(59,6019) = 355121 / 1
LCM(59,6019) = 355121
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
