Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3706/85,1894/331
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 3706,1894
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3706,1894 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 85,331 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 85,331 is 28135 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3706,1894
2 | 3706, 1894 |
1853, 947 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 1894
List of positive integer factors of 1894 that divides 1894 without a remainder.
1,2,947,1894
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3706,1894 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3706,1894 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3706/85,1894/331 is 2/28135
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 85,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,331) = ( 85 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(85,331) = 28135 / 1
LCM(85,331) = 28135
