Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 120/430,218/527
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 120,218
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 120,218 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 430,527 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 430,527 is 226610 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 120,218
2 | 120, 218 |
60, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 218
List of positive integer factors of 218 that divides 218 without a remainder.
1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 430,527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/226610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/430,218/527 is 2/226610
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 430,527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(430,527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(430,527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(430,527) = ( 430 × 527 ) / 1
LCM(430,527) = 226610 / 1
LCM(430,527) = 226610
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
