Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3878/11,2331/285
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 3878,2331
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3878,2331 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,285 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,285 is 3135 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3878,2331
7 | 3878, 2331 |

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3878,2331 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3878,2331 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/3135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3878/11,2331/285 is 7/3135
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 11,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,285) = ( 11 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(11,285) = 3135 / 1
LCM(11,285) = 3135
