Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 838/491,656/204
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 838,656
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 838,656 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 491,204 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 491,204 is 100164 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 838,656
2 | 838, 656 |
419, 328 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 838 that divides 838 without a remainder.
1,2,419,838
Factors of 656
List of positive integer factors of 656 that divides 656 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,656 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,204
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/491,656/204 is 2/100164
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 491,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,204) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,204) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,204) = ( 491 × 204 ) / 1
LCM(491,204) = 100164 / 1
LCM(491,204) = 100164
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
