Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 308/85,882/231
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 308,882
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 308,882 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 85,231 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 85,231 is 19635 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 308,882
2 | 308, 882 |
7 | 154, 441 |
22, 63 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,49,63,98,126,147,294,441,882
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 308,882 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 308,882 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19635
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/19635
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/85,882/231 is 14/19635
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 85,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,231) = ( 85 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(85,231) = 19635 / 1
LCM(85,231) = 19635
