Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3606/86,2854/705
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 3606,2854
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3606,2854 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,705 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,705 is 60630 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3606,2854
2 | 3606, 2854 |
1803, 1427 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,601,1202,1803,3606
Factors of 2854
List of positive integer factors of 2854 that divides 2854 without a remainder.
1,2,1427,2854
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3606,2854 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3606,2854 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,705
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/60630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3606/86,2854/705 is 2/60630
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 86,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,705) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,705) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,705) = ( 86 × 705 ) / 1
LCM(86,705) = 60630 / 1
LCM(86,705) = 60630
