Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 260/686,830/634
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 260,830
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 260,830 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 686,634 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 686,634 is 217462 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 260,830
2 | 260, 830 |
5 | 130, 415 |
26, 83 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Factors of 830
List of positive integer factors of 830 that divides 830 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,83,166,415,830
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 260,830 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 260,830 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,634
2 | 686, 634 |
343, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 343 x 317 = 217462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/217462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/686,830/634 is 10/217462
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 686,634 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,634) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,634) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(686,634) = ( 686 × 634 ) / 2
LCM(686,634) = 434924 / 2
LCM(686,634) = 217462
