Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 821/38,246/3400
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 821,246
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 821,246 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,3400 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,3400 is 64600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 821,246
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 246
List of positive integer factors of 246 that divides 246 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 821,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 821,246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,3400
2 | 38, 3400 |
19, 1700 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 1700 = 64600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 821/38,246/3400 is 1/64600
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 38,3400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,3400) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,3400) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,3400) = ( 38 × 3400 ) / 2
LCM(38,3400) = 129200 / 2
LCM(38,3400) = 64600
