Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 320/117,990/589
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 320,990
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 320,990 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 117,589 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 117,589 is 68913 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 320,990
2 | 320, 990 |
5 | 160, 495 |
32, 99 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 320,990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 320,990 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 117,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 68913
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/68913
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/117,990/589 is 10/68913
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 117,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,589) = ( 117 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(117,589) = 68913 / 1
LCM(117,589) = 68913
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
