Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 36/232,384/645
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 36,384
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 36,384 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 232,645 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 232,645 is 149640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 36,384
2 | 36, 384 |
2 | 18, 192 |
3 | 9, 96 |
3, 32 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 384
List of positive integer factors of 384 that divides 384 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,64,96,128,192,384
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,384 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/149640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/232,384/645 is 12/149640
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 232,645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,645) = ( 232 × 645 ) / 1
LCM(232,645) = 149640 / 1
LCM(232,645) = 149640
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
