Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 375/24,474/979
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 375,474
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 375,474 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,979 is 23496 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 375,474
3 | 375, 474 |
125, 158 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,5,15,25,75,125,375
Factors of 474
List of positive integer factors of 474 that divides 474 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,474 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/24,474/979 is 3/23496
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 24,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(24,979) = ( 24 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(24,979) = 23496 / 1
LCM(24,979) = 23496
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
