Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 442/43,884/1206
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 442,884
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 442,884 is 442 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,1206 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,1206 is 51858 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 442,884
2 | 442, 884 |
13 | 221, 442 |
17 | 17, 34 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 17 = 442

1,2,4,13,17,26,34,52,68,221,442,884
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 442,884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 442,884 is 442.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,1206
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 442/51858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/43,884/1206 is 442/51858
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 43,1206 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,1206) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,1206) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,1206) = ( 43 × 1206 ) / 1
LCM(43,1206) = 51858 / 1
LCM(43,1206) = 51858
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
