Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/14,56/44,246/67
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 46,56,246
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,56,246 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,44,67 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,44,67 is 20636 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,56,246
2 | 46, 56, 246 |
23, 28, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Factors of 246
List of positive integer factors of 246 that divides 246 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,56,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,56,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,44,67
2 | 14, 44, 67 |
7, 22, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 22 x 67 = 20636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/14,56/44,246/67 is 2/20636
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 14,44,67 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,44,67) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(14,44,67) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(14,44,67) = ( 14 × 44 × 67 ) / 2
LCM(14,44,67) = 41272 / 2
LCM(14,44,67) = 20636
