Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 465/188,868/341
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 465,868
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 465,868 is 31 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 188,341 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 188,341 is 64108 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 465,868
31 | 465, 868 |
15, 28 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31

1,2,4,7,14,28,31,62,124,217,434,868
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 465,868 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 465,868 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/64108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 465/188,868/341 is 31/64108
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 188,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,341) = ( 188 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(188,341) = 64108 / 1
LCM(188,341) = 64108
