Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 592/178,267/226
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 592,267
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 592,267 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 178,226 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 178,226 is 20114 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 592,267
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 267
List of positive integer factors of 267 that divides 267 without a remainder.
1,3,89,267
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 592,267 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 592,267 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,226
2 | 178, 226 |
89, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 113 = 20114
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20114
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 592/178,267/226 is 1/20114
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 178,226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,226) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,226) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(178,226) = ( 178 × 226 ) / 2
LCM(178,226) = 40228 / 2
LCM(178,226) = 20114
