Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 390/46,220/520
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 390,220
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 390,220 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,520 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,520 is 11960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 390,220
2 | 390, 220 |
5 | 195, 110 |
39, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

1,2,3,5,6,10,13,15,26,30,39,65,78,130,195,390
Factors of 220
List of positive integer factors of 220 that divides 220 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 390,220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 390,220 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,520
2 | 46, 520 |
23, 260 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 260 = 11960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/11960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 390/46,220/520 is 10/11960
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 46,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,520) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,520) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,520) = ( 46 × 520 ) / 2
LCM(46,520) = 23920 / 2
LCM(46,520) = 11960
