Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 422/78,374/2843
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 422,374
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 422,374 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 78,2843 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 78,2843 is 221754 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 422,374
2 | 422, 374 |
211, 187 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 422 that divides 422 without a remainder.
1,2,211,422
Factors of 374
List of positive integer factors of 374 that divides 374 without a remainder.
1,2,11,17,22,34,187,374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 422,374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 422,374 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,2843
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/221754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/78,374/2843 is 2/221754
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 78,2843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,2843) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,2843) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,2843) = ( 78 × 2843 ) / 1
LCM(78,2843) = 221754 / 1
LCM(78,2843) = 221754
