Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 468/63,314/188
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 468,314
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 468,314 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 63,188 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 63,188 is 11844 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 468,314
2 | 468, 314 |
234, 157 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,4,6,9,12,13,18,26,36,39,52,78,117,156,234,468
Factors of 314
List of positive integer factors of 314 that divides 314 without a remainder.
1,2,157,314
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,314 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,314 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/63,314/188 is 2/11844
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 63,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,188) = ( 63 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(63,188) = 11844 / 1
LCM(63,188) = 11844
