Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 252/22,3514/273
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 252,3514
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 252,3514 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,273 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,273 is 6006 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 252,3514
2 | 252, 3514 |
7 | 126, 1757 |
18, 251 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

Factors of 3514
List of positive integer factors of 3514 that divides 3514 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,251,502,1757,3514
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 252,3514 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 252,3514 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,273
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/6006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/22,3514/273 is 14/6006
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 22,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,273) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,273) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,273) = ( 22 × 273 ) / 1
LCM(22,273) = 6006 / 1
LCM(22,273) = 6006
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
