Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 406/19,1844/956
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 406,1844
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 406,1844 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,956 is 18164 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 406,1844
2 | 406, 1844 |
203, 922 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 1844
List of positive integer factors of 1844 that divides 1844 without a remainder.
1,2,4,461,922,1844
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 406,1844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 406,1844 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/19,1844/956 is 2/18164
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 19,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,956) = ( 19 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(19,956) = 18164 / 1
LCM(19,956) = 18164
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
