Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 368/41,846/792
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 368,846
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 368,846 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,792 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,792 is 32472 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 368,846
2 | 368, 846 |
184, 423 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,16,23,46,92,184,368
Factors of 846
List of positive integer factors of 846 that divides 846 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,47,94,141,282,423,846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 368,846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 368,846 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,792
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/41,846/792 is 2/32472
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 41,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,792) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,792) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,792) = ( 41 × 792 ) / 1
LCM(41,792) = 32472 / 1
LCM(41,792) = 32472
