Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 331/222,860/948
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 331,860
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 331,860 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 222,948 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 222,948 is 35076 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 331,860
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 860
List of positive integer factors of 860 that divides 860 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,43,86,172,215,430,860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 331,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 331,860 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 222,948
2 | 222, 948 |
3 | 111, 474 |
37, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 37 x 158 = 35076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 331/222,860/948 is 1/35076
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 222,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,948) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(222,948) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(222,948) = ( 222 × 948 ) / 6
LCM(222,948) = 210456 / 6
LCM(222,948) = 35076
