Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 886/22,3214/743
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 886,3214
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 886,3214 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,743 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,743 is 16346 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 886,3214
2 | 886, 3214 |
443, 1607 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,443,886
Factors of 3214
List of positive integer factors of 3214 that divides 3214 without a remainder.
1,2,1607,3214
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 886,3214 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 886,3214 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/22,3214/743 is 2/16346
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 22,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,743) = ( 22 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(22,743) = 16346 / 1
LCM(22,743) = 16346
