Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 464/41,892/187
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 464,892
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 464,892 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,187 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,187 is 7667 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 464,892
2 | 464, 892 |
2 | 232, 446 |
116, 223 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 464

1,2,4,8,16,29,58,116,232,464
Factors of 892
List of positive integer factors of 892 that divides 892 without a remainder.
1,2,4,223,446,892
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 464,892 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 464,892 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7667
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7667
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 464/41,892/187 is 4/7667
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 41,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,187) = ( 41 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(41,187) = 7667 / 1
LCM(41,187) = 7667
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
