Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 411/20,228/181
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 411,228
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 411,228 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,181 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,181 is 3620 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 411,228
3 | 411, 228 |
137, 76 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 411 that divides 411 without a remainder.
1,3,137,411
Factors of 228
List of positive integer factors of 228 that divides 228 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 411,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 411,228 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 411/20,228/181 is 3/3620
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 20,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,181) = ( 20 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(20,181) = 3620 / 1
LCM(20,181) = 3620
