Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 240/96,800/9112
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 240,800
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 240,800 is 80 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,9112 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,9112 is 109344 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 240,800
2 | 240, 800 |
2 | 120, 400 |
2 | 60, 200 |
2 | 30, 100 |
5 | 15, 50 |
3, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 80

1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,800 is 80.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,9112
2 | 96, 9112 |
2 | 48, 4556 |
2 | 24, 2278 |
12, 1139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 12 x 1139 = 109344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 80/109344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/96,800/9112 is 80/109344
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 96,9112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,9112) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,9112) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(96,9112) = ( 96 × 9112 ) / 8
LCM(96,9112) = 874752 / 8
LCM(96,9112) = 109344
