Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 408/11,974/5920
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 408,974
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 408,974 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,5920 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,5920 is 65120 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 408,974
2 | 408, 974 |
204, 487 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,17,24,34,51,68,102,136,204,408
Factors of 974
List of positive integer factors of 974 that divides 974 without a remainder.
1,2,487,974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 408,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 408,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,5920
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/65120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/11,974/5920 is 2/65120
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 11,5920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,5920) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,5920) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,5920) = ( 11 × 5920 ) / 1
LCM(11,5920) = 65120 / 1
LCM(11,5920) = 65120
