Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 344/664,668/711
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 344,668
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 344,668 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 664,711 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 664,711 is 472104 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 344,668
2 | 344, 668 |
2 | 172, 334 |
86, 167 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,167,334,668
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 344,668 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 344,668 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 664,711
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/472104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 344/664,668/711 is 4/472104
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 664,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,711) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,711) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(664,711) = ( 664 × 711 ) / 1
LCM(664,711) = 472104 / 1
LCM(664,711) = 472104
