Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3946/11,3838/344
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 3946,3838
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3946,3838 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,344 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,344 is 3784 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3946,3838
2 | 3946, 3838 |
1973, 1919 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,1973,3946
Factors of 3838
List of positive integer factors of 3838 that divides 3838 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38,101,202,1919,3838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3946,3838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3946,3838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3946/11,3838/344 is 2/3784
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 11,344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,344) = ( 11 × 344 ) / 1
LCM(11,344) = 3784 / 1
LCM(11,344) = 3784
