Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 788/284,886/315
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 788,886
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 788,886 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 284,315 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 284,315 is 89460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 788,886
2 | 788, 886 |
394, 443 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 886
List of positive integer factors of 886 that divides 886 without a remainder.
1,2,443,886
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 788,886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 788,886 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,315
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/89460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/284,886/315 is 2/89460
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 284,315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,315) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,315) = ( 284 × 315 ) / 1
LCM(284,315) = 89460 / 1
LCM(284,315) = 89460
