Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3206/59,1474/844
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 3206,1474
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3206,1474 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,844 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,844 is 49796 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3206,1474
2 | 3206, 1474 |
1603, 737 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,11,22,67,134,737,1474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3206,1474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3206,1474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,844
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3206/59,1474/844 is 2/49796
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 59,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,844) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,844) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,844) = ( 59 × 844 ) / 1
LCM(59,844) = 49796 / 1
LCM(59,844) = 49796
