Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 268/34,9902/732
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 268,9902
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 268,9902 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 34,732 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 34,732 is 12444 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 268,9902
2 | 268, 9902 |
134, 4951 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 268

1,2,4,67,134,268
Factors of 9902
List of positive integer factors of 9902 that divides 9902 without a remainder.
1,2,4951,9902
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,9902 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,9902 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,732
2 | 34, 732 |
17, 366 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 366 = 12444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/34,9902/732 is 2/12444
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 34,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,732) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,732) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,732) = ( 34 × 732 ) / 2
LCM(34,732) = 24888 / 2
LCM(34,732) = 12444
