Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 238/51,488/5680
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 238,488
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 238,488 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,5680 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,5680 is 289680 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 238,488
2 | 238, 488 |
119, 244 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 238 that divides 238 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
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 238,488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 238,488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,5680
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 289680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/289680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 238/51,488/5680 is 2/289680
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 51,5680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,5680) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,5680) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,5680) = ( 51 × 5680 ) / 1
LCM(51,5680) = 289680 / 1
LCM(51,5680) = 289680
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
