Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 206/83,488/639
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 206,488
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 206,488 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 83,639 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 83,639 is 53037 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 206,488
2 | 206, 488 |
103, 244 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 488
List of positive integer factors of 488 that divides 488 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,61,122,244,488
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 206,488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 206,488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,639
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 53037
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53037
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/83,488/639 is 2/53037
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 83,639 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,639) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,639) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,639) = ( 83 × 639 ) / 1
LCM(83,639) = 53037 / 1
LCM(83,639) = 53037
