Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 884/22,158/712
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 884,158
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 884,158 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,712 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,712 is 7832 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 884,158
2 | 884, 158 |
442, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 158
List of positive integer factors of 158 that divides 158 without a remainder.
1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 884,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 884,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,712
2 | 22, 712 |
11, 356 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 356 = 7832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 884/22,158/712 is 2/7832
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 22,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,712) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,712) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,712) = ( 22 × 712 ) / 2
LCM(22,712) = 15664 / 2
LCM(22,712) = 7832
