Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/686,624/948
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 26,624
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 26,624 is 26 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 686,948 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 686,948 is 325164 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,624
2 | 26, 624 |
13 | 13, 312 |
1, 24 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 13 = 26

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,13,16,24,26,39,48,52,78,104,156,208,312,624
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,624 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,624 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,948
2 | 686, 948 |
343, 474 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 343 x 474 = 325164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/325164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/686,624/948 is 26/325164
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 686,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,948) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,948) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(686,948) = ( 686 × 948 ) / 2
LCM(686,948) = 650328 / 2
LCM(686,948) = 325164
