Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 320/870,132/232
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 320,132
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 320,132 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 870,232 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 870,232 is 3480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 320,132
2 | 320, 132 |
2 | 160, 66 |
80, 33 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,160,320
Factors of 132
List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 320,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 320,132 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 870,232
2 | 870, 232 |
29 | 435, 116 |
15, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 15 x 4 = 3480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/870,132/232 is 4/3480
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 870,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(870,232) = 58
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(870,232) x common factors =58 x 1 = 58
LCM(870,232) = ( 870 × 232 ) / 58
LCM(870,232) = 201840 / 58
LCM(870,232) = 3480
