Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 424/82,378/121
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 424,378
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 424,378 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 82,121 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 82,121 is 9922 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 424,378
2 | 424, 378 |
212, 189 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 378 that divides 378 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,27,42,54,63,126,189,378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 424,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 424,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 424/82,378/121 is 2/9922
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 82,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,121) = ( 82 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(82,121) = 9922 / 1
LCM(82,121) = 9922
