Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 624/48,242/857
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 624,242
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 624,242 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 48,857 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 48,857 is 41136 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 624,242
2 | 624, 242 |
312, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 242
List of positive integer factors of 242 that divides 242 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,121,242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 624,242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 624,242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/48,242/857 is 2/41136
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 48,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,857) = ( 48 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(48,857) = 41136 / 1
LCM(48,857) = 41136
