Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 534/345,424/389
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 534,424
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 534,424 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 345,389 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 345,389 is 134205 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 534,424
2 | 534, 424 |
267, 212 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 424
List of positive integer factors of 424 that divides 424 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,53,106,212,424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 534,424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 534,424 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 345,389
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 134205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/134205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 534/345,424/389 is 2/134205
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 345,389 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(345,389) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(345,389) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(345,389) = ( 345 × 389 ) / 1
LCM(345,389) = 134205 / 1
LCM(345,389) = 134205
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
