Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 282/10,3372/889
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 282,3372
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 282,3372 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 10,889 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 10,889 is 8890 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 282,3372
2 | 282, 3372 |
3 | 141, 1686 |
47, 562 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Factors of 3372
List of positive integer factors of 3372 that divides 3372 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,281,562,843,1124,1686,3372
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 282,3372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 282,3372 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/8890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/10,3372/889 is 6/8890
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 10,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,889) = ( 10 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(10,889) = 8890 / 1
LCM(10,889) = 8890
