Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 282/42,423/668
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 282,423
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 282,423 is 141 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,668 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,668 is 14028 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 282,423
3 | 282, 423 |
47 | 94, 141 |
2, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 47 = 141

1,3,9,47,141,423
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 282,423 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 282,423 is 141.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,668
2 | 42, 668 |
21, 334 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 334 = 14028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 141/14028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/42,423/668 is 141/14028
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 42,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,668) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,668) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,668) = ( 42 × 668 ) / 2
LCM(42,668) = 28056 / 2
LCM(42,668) = 14028
