Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 292/22,368/421
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 292,368
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 292,368 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,421 is 9262 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 292,368
2 | 292, 368 |
2 | 146, 184 |
73, 92 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,73,146,292
Factors of 368
List of positive integer factors of 368 that divides 368 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,23,46,92,184,368
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 292,368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 292,368 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/9262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/22,368/421 is 4/9262
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 22,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,421) = ( 22 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(22,421) = 9262 / 1
LCM(22,421) = 9262
