Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 332/47,3880/985
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 332,3880
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 332,3880 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,985 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,985 is 46295 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 332,3880
2 | 332, 3880 |
2 | 166, 1940 |

We found the factors 332,3880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 332,3880 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/46295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 332/47,3880/985 is 4/46295
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 47,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,985) = ( 47 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(47,985) = 46295 / 1
LCM(47,985) = 46295
