Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 284/57,896/832
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 284,896
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 284,896 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 57,832 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 57,832 is 47424 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 284,896
2 | 284, 896 |
2 | 142, 448 |
71, 224 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,71,142,284
Factors of 896
List of positive integer factors of 896 that divides 896 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,64,112,128,224,448,896
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,896 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,896 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,832
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/47424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/57,896/832 is 4/47424
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 57,832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,832) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,832) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,832) = ( 57 × 832 ) / 1
LCM(57,832) = 47424 / 1
LCM(57,832) = 47424
