Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 387/48,602/287
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 387,602
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 387,602 is 43 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 48,287 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 48,287 is 13776 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 387,602
43 | 387, 602 |
9, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 43 = 43

1,3,9,43,129,387
Factors of 602
List of positive integer factors of 602 that divides 602 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,43,86,301,602
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,602 is 43.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/13776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/48,602/287 is 43/13776
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 48,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,287) = ( 48 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(48,287) = 13776 / 1
LCM(48,287) = 13776
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
