Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 220/595,642/543
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 220,642
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 220,642 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 595,543 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 595,543 is 323085 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 220,642
2 | 220, 642 |

1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Factors of 642
List of positive integer factors of 642 that divides 642 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 220,642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 220,642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 595,543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 323085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/323085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/595,642/543 is 2/323085
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 595,543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,543) = ( 595 × 543 ) / 1
LCM(595,543) = 323085 / 1
LCM(595,543) = 323085
