Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 376/23,2206/638
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 376,2206
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 376,2206 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,638 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,638 is 14674 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 376,2206
2 | 376, 2206 |
188, 1103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 2206
List of positive integer factors of 2206 that divides 2206 without a remainder.
1,2,1103,2206
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 376,2206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 376,2206 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 376/23,2206/638 is 2/14674
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 23,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,638) = ( 23 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(23,638) = 14674 / 1
LCM(23,638) = 14674
