Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 351/862,422/416
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 351,422
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 351,422 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 862,416 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 862,416 is 179296 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 351,422
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,13,27,39,117,351
Factors of 422
List of positive integer factors of 422 that divides 422 without a remainder.
1,2,211,422
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 351,422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 351,422 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 862,416
2 | 862, 416 |
431, 208 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 208 = 179296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/179296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 351/862,422/416 is 1/179296
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 862,416 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,416) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,416) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,416) = ( 862 × 416 ) / 2
LCM(862,416) = 358592 / 2
LCM(862,416) = 179296
