Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 396/501,348/475
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 396,348
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 396,348 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 501,475 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 501,475 is 237975 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 396,348
2 | 396, 348 |
2 | 198, 174 |
3 | 99, 87 |
33, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

1,2,3,4,6,12,29,58,87,116,174,348
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 396,348 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 396,348 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,475
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/237975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/501,348/475 is 12/237975
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 501,475 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,475) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,475) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,475) = ( 501 × 475 ) / 1
LCM(501,475) = 237975 / 1
LCM(501,475) = 237975
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
