Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 437/282,209/869
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 437,209
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 437,209 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 282,869 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 282,869 is 245058 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 437,209
19 | 437, 209 |
23, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19

Factors of 209
List of positive integer factors of 209 that divides 209 without a remainder.
1,11,19,209
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 437,209 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 437,209 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 282,869
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245058
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/245058
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 437/282,209/869 is 19/245058
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 282,869 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(282,869) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(282,869) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(282,869) = ( 282 × 869 ) / 1
LCM(282,869) = 245058 / 1
LCM(282,869) = 245058
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
