Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 132/73,960/436
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 132,960
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 132,960 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,436 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,436 is 31828 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 132,960
2 | 132, 960 |
2 | 66, 480 |
3 | 33, 240 |
11, 80 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Factors of 960
List of positive integer factors of 960 that divides 960 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,960 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/31828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/73,960/436 is 12/31828
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 73,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,436) = ( 73 × 436 ) / 1
LCM(73,436) = 31828 / 1
LCM(73,436) = 31828
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
