Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 308/395,1654/242
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 308,1654
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 308,1654 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 395,242 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 395,242 is 95590 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 308,1654
2 | 308, 1654 |
154, 827 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,7,11,14,22,28,44,77,154,308
Factors of 1654
List of positive integer factors of 1654 that divides 1654 without a remainder.
1,2,827,1654
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 308,1654 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 308,1654 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 395,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/95590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/395,1654/242 is 2/95590
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 395,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(395,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(395,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(395,242) = ( 395 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(395,242) = 95590 / 1
LCM(395,242) = 95590
