Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 901/228,4638/249
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 901,4638
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 901,4638 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 228,249 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 228,249 is 18924 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 901,4638
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 4638
List of positive integer factors of 4638 that divides 4638 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,773,1546,2319,4638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 901,4638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 901,4638 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,249
3 | 228, 249 |
76, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 76 x 83 = 18924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 901/228,4638/249 is 1/18924
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 228,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(228,249) = ( 228 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(228,249) = 56772 / 3
LCM(228,249) = 18924
